Healthy growth and development of silkworm largely depending on the quality of mulberry leaves. The activity of sericulture is declining due the reduction of mulberry production area in sericulture practicing countries, which lead to adverse effects on silkworm rearing and cocoon production. Screening for nutritional trait change by feeding leaf spot diseased of mulberry leaf to silkworm, Bombyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) is an essential prerequisite for better understanding of reduced food consumption, nutritional efficiency loss and low efficiency conversion. The aim of this study was to identify efficiency and cocoon crop loss due to the consumption of leaf spot diseased mulberry leaves to bivoltine silkworm breeds using the hybrid races as SH6 and NB₄D₂. The 1stday of 5th stage silkworm larvae of bivoltine strains were subjected to standard gravimetric analysis until sp.. View More»
