Stability Analysis of Bivoltine and Double Hybrid Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

Key Points

The double hybrid silkworm exhibited superior cocoon traits compared to the bivoltine variant.
Cocoon length, weight, and survival percentage were significantly improved in the double hybrid variant.
Stability analysis was performed across two environmental conditions, evaluating response to heat and humidity.
Findings highlight the potential of double hybrid silkworms for enhanced silk production under varying climates.

Abstract

Stability studies conducted with the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L. revealed that the double hybrid, (CSR6 x CSR26) x (CSR2 xCSR27) performed better for cocoon length, cocoon breadth, larval weight, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio and survival percentage compared to the bivoltine hybrid, CSR2 x CSR4 when reared at two different environmental conditions viz., room temperature and humidity (25Â±10ÂºC and 65Â±5 % RH) and higher temperature and humidity conditions (34Â±10ÂºC temperature and 85Â±5 % RH)
