Estimation of Hybrid Vigor of Some Single Local Hybrids of Mulberry Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Fifteen races resulted from silkworm breeding program at Sericulture Research Department (SRD) were used for hybridization. Fourteen hybrids were obtained and coded as; Giza C, D, R, S, T, U, A, V, W,P, H, L and Qanater 1, 2. The traits of cocoon weight,cocoon shell weight, pupal weight, cocoon shell ratio,silk productivity, fifth instar duration, total larval duration, number of cocoon per liter and pupation ratio were evaluated. Data were analyzed by using three formulae of heterosis over better, mid and check parent values. Hybrids of Giza V, C, N, Qanater 1 and 2 are promising and could be used in commercial cocoon production. Generally, there are some new hybrids can be exploited in commercial scale. Also, the local races can be evolved using the hybridization,inbreeding and selection program.
