The influence of VAM fungi and bacterial biofertilizer (BBF) with 50% reduction in the recommended dose of (N and P) chemical fertilizers on leaf quality traits of mulberry variety (S-13) and its impact on silkworm (PM ? NB4D2) growth and cocoon characters were studied under semi-arid conditions. Four different treatments were imposed i.e., T1: Control (only 100% NPK); T2: VAM (50% cut in P); ...

topical application with 100, 200 and 300 ng/ml phytohormone salicyclic acid on commercial traits was analysed in bivoltine csr2, csr4 and csr2xcsr4 crossbreed races of the silkworm, bombyx mori l. the results showed that there was significant increase in larval weight female cocoon weight, male cocoon shell weight, and hatching percentage with 100 and 200 ng/ml, silkgland weight, female cocoon...

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, ...

abstract more than %90 of natural silk in world is produced by means of mulberry silkworm (bombyx mori l.). therefore, it is important that we recognize and collect mulberry varieties which have high quantity and quality leaf performance. for this purpose, an experiment was conducted with five mulberry varieties (kenmochi, kairyonase, ichinose, shinichinose and local varieties) during two seaso...

abstract effect of selection index in four iranian commercial lines (107, 110, 153 and 154) on performance of their hybrids including 107 ×110, 110×107, 153×154 and 154×153 was investigated. selection index program was performed on all 3p commercial lines during 9 generations. next generation parents of 3p lines were selected in each generation, by construction of selection matrix based on heri...

to compare the performance of fifteen hybrids of silkworm, bombyx mori l. under natural rearing conditions on the farm level and determine their resistance to grasserie disease, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (15 treatments and five replications) for either of non-infected or infected to npv conditions. treatments included hybrids xinhang1?koming1, xinhang1?koming...
