tailieunhanh - Impact of varied groups of organics at different levels supplied to mulberry on pupal and egg traits of silkworm

The experiment was conducted in the Agriculture Research Station, Hagari, University of Agricultural Sciences Raichur under irrigated condition during 2017-18 to study the application of different groups of organics to mulberry along with urea viz., FYM+ urea (75%+25%, 50%+50% and 25%+75%), Green leaf manure + urea (75% +25%, 50%+50% and 25%+75%) and Castor cake + urea (75% +25% , 50% +50% and 25% +75%), the effects of feeding such leaves to silkworm on the resultant pupal and egg traits was investigated. Worms fed on mulberry leaves obtained by application of Castor cake + urea recorded higher pupal weight ( g), shorter pupal duration ( days), higher rate of moth emergence (), fecundity ( eggs /laying) and hatchability () as compared to control (, days, , eggs and , respectively). | Impact of varied groups of organics at different levels supplied to mulberry on pupal and egg traits of silkworm
