Abstract
Crossbreeds of mulberry silkworm (Bombyx
mori L.) are at some extent disease resistive compared to bivoltine breeds
because of breed characteristics like highly sensitive to environmental
fluctuations and unable to survive in extreme environmental conditions.
Variation in temperature and humidity affects physiology of silkworm which
affects pre- cocoon parameters such as larval length and weight as well as post
cocoon parameters. The environmental parameters like temperature, light and
humidity must be appropriate for quality cocoon production. The present study
shows role of temperature and Humidity on the growth and development of
silkworm. In this study Comparative rearing performance is recorded in relation
with temperature and relative humidity of commercial crossbreeds MV1 x S8 and
PM x FC2 (Bombyx mori L.) at Department of Zoology, Jaysingpur College,
Jaysingpur, District-Kolhapur, State-Maharashtra.
