EFFECT OF JUVENILE HORMONE MIMIC R394 ON SILKWORM (Bombyx mori L.) GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SILK GLAND
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of a juvenile hormone (JH) mimic R394 (ethyl 9-cyclohexyl-3, 7-dimethy l-2, 4-nonadienoate) applied topically on the abdominal tergum of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) after the fourth ecdysis has been studied. JH R394 ranging from 1.0, 0.1, 0.01 μl / larva was applied at 48, 72 and 96 hours of V instar larva that was improved the cocoon weight, shell weight and shell ratio etc. The most effective dose observed 0.01 μl / larva, when applied at 48 and 72 hours after resumption of the last moult. It was observed that the development of the silk gland takes place up to a particular period, after that the larval development increases due to the increase of the feeding period without any significant increase in silk and silk ratio.

The influence of moisture content of mulberry leaf on the growth, development and moisture build up in the body of silkworm was studied by feeding with different maturity leaves to late age of silkworm larvae. Significantly higher larval moisture (79.78%), larval weight (65.65 g), pupal moisture (73.81%) was recorded in top tender leaf (high moisture) fed batches and least was recorded in the c...

Nutrition is the important physiological process, which plays a prime role in the growth and in turn it affects the productivity of the silkworm. The supplementation of different materials along with mulberry leaves to silkworm results higher yield because the production of quality silk mainly depends on larval nutrition. The influence of antibiotic on growth and development of silkworm larva a...

The overall development of silkworm larvae depends on getting the required food which can be easily digested and assimilated in the body tissues properly for the silk synthesis. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to increase the growth of young silkworm Bombyx mori. This is ensured through supplementation of food additives, intern biochemical constituents of worm. The results of the...
