Abstract

Qualitative assessment of nine promising mulberry varieties with two check cultivars was evaluated with silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.). The feeding experiment revealed that ACC-143 and ACC-203 (S-135) varieties were superior to other varieties and check cultivars in all the economic characters of cocoon. The variety x season interaction was highly significant. ACC-143 and ACC-203 showed significantly better results over other varieties.

Résumé

Estimation qualitative de neaf varietes prometteuses de une (germplasm) avec deux variétés contrôles, a savoir, Kanva-2 et local, étaient évalués avec le ver à soie Bombyx mori (L.) pendant des saisons, différentes de l'année. L'experience de l'alimentation a révélé que les variétés ACC-143 et ACC-203 (S-135 ont été supérieures aux autres variétés et variétés contrôles dans tous les caractères économiques du cocon. La variété x la interaction saisonnière était très important. Les ACC-143 et ACC-203 ont montré des meilleurs résultats significatifs par rapport aux autres variétés.
