| Abstract | ||||
| When the number of feeds was restricted from eight to one per day, Bombyx mori L. prolonged its larval duration. However, the pupal duration showed slight negative relation with the larval duration. These supplied one feed/day suffered heavy mortality. Increasing number of feeding enhanced the larval weight, the rates of assimilation, metabolism and conversion. It also produced elevated values in weight, length and diameter of coconuts. Restriction of feed number resulted in reduced fecundity. | ||||
