Larval survival was lower on ICC 12475, ICC 10393 and RIL 25 ((52.0 69.3%) as compared to that on EC 583264 and EC 583260 (82.7 92.0%). The weight gained by larvae was higher on ICCV 10. Larval period was prolonged when the larvae were reared on KAK 2 (21.3). Pupal weights were lower on artificial diet containing leaf powder of RIL 25 as compared to KAK 2 (131.8 mg). Pupal period was prolonged in insects reared on artificial diet with leaf powder of RIL 25, ICC 12475, ICCL 86111, ICCV 10 and RIL 20 (9.0 10.0) days. Adult emergence was higher on EC 583260, EC 583264 and ICCV 10 (57.3 74.7%). Re - duced fecundity (214.4 532.0) on RIL 25, RIL 20, ICCV 10, ICCL 86111, ICC 12475, ICC 3137, KAK 2 and ICC 10393. There - fore considering all the parameters the genotypes RIL 25 and ICC 12475 were superior to other genotypes.
