Abstract:

The effect of fungicides on silkworm larvae was analyzed with regard to the fact that these beneficial insects are usually affected by fungicides, Daily feeding on 1 and 2g/liter of carbendazim, a systemic fungicide, did not have significant effects on larval and pupal mortality. However the weight of the treated larvae showed considerable weight decrease up to 37% weight.. All the economic traits of male and female adults treated with fungicide decreased but this decrease is not significant in cocoon shell weight and hatching percentage. The comparison of means using Tukey test at 5% confidence level did not show any effect related to the concentration

Screening Strains of the Mulberry Silkworm, Bombyx mori, for Thermotolerance

A tropical climate prevails in most of the sericultural areas in India, where temperature increases during the summer lead to adverse effects on temperate bivoltine silkworm rearing and cause crop losses. Screening for thermotolerance in the silkworm, Bombyxmori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) is an essential prerequisite for the development of thermotolerant breeds/hybrids. In the current study, ...

Botanicals against Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus infecting three breeds of mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L

Mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L, most valued for silk and other medicinal products is prone to various biotic stresses among which the disease caused by Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (BmNPV) is most serious as it occurs throughout the year causing losses to the tune of 30-40 per cent. Studies conducted on eco friendly management of the disease using botanicals revealed that 800 ppm hexane leaf ex...

Protein Level Changes Under Magnetic Exposure of Larvae in Bombyx mori: A Multivoltine Mulberry Silkworm

Influence of magnetic field on biological system has been reported. The study reveals effect of magnetization of Bombyx mori larvae on the total protein content level in the silk gland, fat body and haemolymph of fifth instar larvae. First instar larvae were magnetized in 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Gauss magnetic field for 30 minutes in a day till first moulting. Variation in the strength of mag...

Characterization of Klebsiella granulomatis pathogenic to silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

Bacterial disease of silkworm causes significant reduction of silk production leading to huge economic loss. This study aims to isolate bacteria from diseased silkworm and to determine its pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. A strain of Klebsiella granulomatis has been isolated from silkworm haemolymph which was later identified on the basis of biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencin...

Improvement in economic traits of the silkworm Bombyx mori L. by exposure to ultrasound

The effect of ultrasound on important economic traits of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L., was studied in the laboratory. The silkworm eggs in blue-egg stage were exposed to ultrasound at 1 MHz and at an intensity of 9 W/cm 2 for 2 min, and the impact was examined on the economic traits of the silkworm. An elevatory effect was recorded with respect to egg hatchability, subsequent growth of larvae, ...
