Abstract
Sericulture is a cottage industry par excellence. It is one of the most labour intensive sectors of the Indian economy combining both agriculture and industry. The present study was carried out in Zoology Research laboratory, Tumkur University. Three different mulberry silkworms (Bombyx mori) races viz., FC1, FC2 and FC1×FC2 were selected to conduct the experiments, were fed with V1 mulberry leaves. Theaim of the experiment was to know the comparison of commercial charactersof three selected silkworms races viz., cocoon ratio, larval growth and silk filament. So, the present work would be helpful in rearing technology and better crop yield and management.
