摘要：The challenging task of breeders is to develop silkworm breeds which can produce eggs under prevailing conditions of temperature and humidity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the reproductive potential of single and double hybrids under high temperature and high humidity as well as high temperature and low humidity conditions of the tropics. The moth emergence percentage, laying recovery percentage, egg recovery/kg cocoon, number of eggs/gram and percentage of unfertilized eggs were calculated and compared among single and double hybrids.
