 ABSTRACT

Eight mulberry pure silkworm breeds namely Pure Mysore, Nistari, C. nichi & Hosa Mysore (multivoltines), CSR2, NB4D2, NB18 & KA (bivoltines) and four hybrids (Pure Mysore x CSR2, Nistari x NB4D2, C. nichi x KA and Hosa Mysore x NB18) were selected for the present study. During fifth instar haemolymph glucose level was estimated with a regular interval of 24h and also average concentration was calculated. The commercial characters viz., fecundity, larval weight, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, filament length, denier and renditta were selected and rearing data was recorded.  The average concentration of glucose was subjected to regression analysis against selected commercial characters. Of the 40 regression analysis eighteen results showed significant high positive correlation coefficient between haemolymph glucose level and commercial characters of silkworm Bombyx mori L. 

 Keywords: Silkworm, Bombyx mori, Haemolymph, Glucose, Commercial Characters.
