Abstract
When we think about pearl cultivation in the world, China ranks first. The cultivation of pearl includes; Natural pearls, Seawater cultured pearls, and Freshwater cultured pearls. There are two types of varieties of cultured pearls; freshwater and saltwater. Freshwater pearls are grown primarily in man-made lakes reservoirs and ponds. Saltwater pearls are grown in bays, inlets, and sea in many places around the world. Indian pearl-producing mussels, more than 40 varieties, are found in Asia in various places like ponds, rivers, and lakes however there are 3 main categories of pearl-producing mussels in India and the country. We have cultured the designer pearls at our Krishi Vigyan Kendra located at 22.0574° N, 78.9382° E Chhindwara (M.P.) and found prominent conditions with Lemllidens Corrianus for fresh-water designer pearl production.
