Abstract | ||||
This study was conducted to evaluate the use of flom fort, potassium sulphonate and dettol compounds as disenfectants and their impacts on the biological characteristics and production of silk in silkworm Bombyx mori L artificially infected with bacteria that causes filahari disease. Treatments achieved that potassium sulphonate (0.1% and 0.05%) resulted lower mortality rate, the highest percentage of adult emergency, fertility of the female and hatching percentage , and also increased the resulting cocoon weight , silk content ratio, the filament length per cocoon, weight and size of the reeled filament. flom fort (0.1 and 0.05%) increased adult emergence percentage, ,female fecundity, silk cocoon ratio and the length of reeled filament. while treatment of mulberry leaves with dettol (0.1%) increased the cocoon shell weight. | ||||
