Abstract

Heterosis studies on rearing performance of 25 Fl Polyvoltine $\times$ bivoltine (sex-limited cocoon colour) hybrids revealed that manifestation of heterosis was highly significant for majority of the economic traits contributing to more silk yield. Five hybrids namely BL24${\times}$ CSR 19 (SL), BL24${\times}$${\times}$${\times}$${\times}$${\times}$
