Effect of Mating Duration and Multiple Use of Male Moth on Reproductive Performance of Some Cross Breeds of Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

  • 발행 : 2009.12.31

초록

The effect of mating duration and multiple use of male on fecundity and fertility was investigated in the hybrids of Silkworm, Bombyx mori L. One hour to five hours of mating duration did not affect egg laying (fecundity) significantly, while fertilization affected significantly. Below 50% fertility was noticed when mating duration was reduced to below two hours. Similarly multiple use of male caused significant reduction in fertility but not fecundity. Till fourth mating no significant reduction in fertility was observed, thereafter fertility reduced considerably.
