| Summary: | The effect of fungicides on silkworm larvae was analyzed with regard to the fact that these beneficial
insects are usually affected by fungicides, Daily feeding on 1 and 2g/liter of carbendazim, a systemic
fungicide, did not have significant effects on larval and pupal mortality. However the weight of the
treated larvae showed considerable weight decrease up to 37% weight.. All the economic traits of male and
female adults treated with fungicide decreased but this decrease is not significant in cocoon shell weight
and hatching percentage. The comparison of means using Tukey test at 5% confidence level did not show
any effect related to the concentration. |
