Abstract

The results revealed that the multivoltine hybrid Nistari × P2D1 (98.13 per cent) was superior in terms of highest hatching percentage. CB5 × G Race (0.00 per cent) and Nistari × G Race (0.00 per cent) were superior recording lowest disease incidence. C. Nitchi × Kolor Gold showed lowest larval duration (28.16 days) and filament length (442.00 m). MP × OS-616 was superior for weight of ten mature larvae (22.15 g), single cocoon weight (1.107 g) and highest cocoon yield (11.07 kg).
