Seasonal Performance of Bivoltine Hybrid Seed Production by Procuring Seed Cocoons from Local ASRs Against Seed Cocoons Procured from Southern SSPCs
Abstract : The current study explores that the commercial silkworm seed production activities is not season specific in Udhampur district and the findings clearly reveal that the eggs recovery (65.83g/kg in FC1 and 67.64g/kg in FC2) was attained under self-generated seed cocoons from local ASRs and (53.50/kg in FC1 and 73.95/kg in FC2) eggs recovery was obtained from the seed cocoons procured from SSPC, Bangalore. Further, the cocoons dfls ratio over actual number of cocoons was found 2.56:1 in FC1 and 2.48:1 in FC2 under self-generated seed cocoons from local ASRs.
