Abstract

The important growth regulating factor in silkworm or in any organism is nutrition. Dietary nutrients not only determine growth and development of silkworm larvae but also cocoon yield. An attempt has been made in the present investigation to record the influence of mulberry leaf supplemented with tryptophan at varied concentrations viz., 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 % on succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities as well as economic parameters in bivoltine double hybrids FC1 x FC2 and FC2 x FC1. The study revealed that both the hybrids recorded highest enzyme activities at 1.5 % concentration of tryptophan supplementation over remaining concentrations and elevated the cocoon weight, shell weight, shell percentage, filament length, filament weight, denier and renditta..
