Effect of external environmental factors on the technological and physical-mechanical properties of silkworm

Abstract

In this article, we have studied the extent to which the technological performance of mulberry silkworms on the industrial hybrids “Musaffo Tola 1” and “Musaffo Tola 2” changes during the hot summer days and these hybrids retain their potential even in adverse stress conditions. Import varieties of “Jingsong x Hoayou” and “Hoayou x Jingsong” hybrid combinations were selected as control hybrids. This Chinese hybrid is the most imported hybrid in Uzbekistan. The purpose of our experiments is to assess the resistance of domestic and import varieties of hybrids to high temperatures on the basis of technological indicators. Changes in the biological performance of import varieties of and domestic hybrids under stress conditions, in particular, a decrease in the viability of worms, an increase in the percentage of deaf and black cocoons, and changes in technological properties were studied.
