Abstract

The effect of three genotypes of mulberry, Morus sp. (Moraceae), namely, Miura, FM Shima Miura and IZ 56/4, and three types of rearing substrate comprising compact soil, concrete and plastic screen were estimated on weight and on certain industrial characteristics of Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera) cocoons. Genotype interactions with rearing substrates affected weight of cocoons produced. Analysis showed the best treatments for manufacturer parameters were Miura / compact soil, FM-Shima Miura / plastic screen, IZ 56/4 / compact soil and IZ 56/4 / plastic screen.
