Physiological Study of Silkworm due to Aromatical Plants

방향식물이 누에 생리에 미치는 영향

The results for the investigation of the various aromatic plants applied diets on silkworm raising from spring to autumn crops are found as followings. 1. There was no difference between the chemical menthol solution (1.0%) enriched diet and the normal diet for silkworm physiology. Neither injury nor advantage was obtained from the investigation. 2. It was found that there was no danger to use the mulberry leaves as silkworm diet by planting Mentha arvensis L. in the vacansy of mulberry farm, and no worse effect was found by rubbing the leaves of Mentha arvensis L. to the surface of mulberry leaves before feeding to silkworm. 3. For the investigation due to Perilla Ocymoides var application in stead of menthol plant ascribed in Paragraph (2) was obtained the same result. 4. As a conclusion of the study, the plantation of the both aromatical plants with mulberry trees is harmless for silkworm growing even though farmers worry about these to plant together with mulberry tree on mulberry farm.

춘하추 삼기사육에 있어서 연구조사한 결과 본시험에서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Menthol의 상기첨식시험에서 Menthol의 1%내에서는 잠아의 생리에 하등의 영향이 없다는 결과를 얻었다. 이 결과는 누에의 상기한 실용형질 전면에 걸쳐 무해이며 또 유익하다는 점도 발견치 못하였다. 2. 박하를 상전에 간작하여 지장이 없음이 연명되였으며 박하엽에 거찰된 상엽을 잠아에 결여하여도 누에 생리에 하등영향이 없다. 3. 들깨(荏)에 있어서도 2항과 동일하다. 4. 결과적으로 박하의 상전간작은 무해로운 작물로 사료되며 들깨의 상전간작도 농민들이 기피하는 경향이 있으나 잠아에는 하등영향이 없다.
