Abstract
Studies on heterotic expression in the silk productivity of 66 thermo-tolerant bivoltine hybrids reared under high temperature (36 ± 1oC) and low humidity (60 ± 5%) conditions revealed that manifestation of heterosis was highly significant for majority of the quantitative traits contributing to more cocoon productivity. Observations were made on 8 economically important traits such as fecundity, pupation rate, cocoon yield, cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio, cocoon filament length and raw silk. Analysis of variance results revealed great deal of variability indicating significant (P < 0.001) variations. Out of 66 hybrids, 7 hybrids exhibited positive heterosis for seven traits and 4 hybrids expressed significant heterobeltiosis for 6 traits, out of 8 traits evaluated. Based on results, the hybrids SR1 × SR5 and CSR2 × SR5 are adjudged as most promising ones and can be exploited commercially in tropical climates to increase the cocoon productivity.
