Abstract

Photoperiodism regulates the growth and various physiological mechanisms of insects. The light and dark schedules of natural day in animals induce different kinds of fluctuations in physiological mechanisms. The effects of photoperiod on enzyme activity and economic traits of B.mori has been studied. In this investigation, ALT enzyme content was high (516± 43.11 mg/ml) in B2 treated group and it follows (370 ± 31.68 mg/ml) in B4 treated group and the next level was 319 ± 27.16 mg/ml observed in B3 treated group and the least amount was 316 ± 25.29 mg/m recorded in B1 treated group. Economic traits such as shell ratio (9.76 percent) of B1 treated group produce a best result of this experiment. This study report suggest that the effect of B1 treated group of B.mori larvae was also provide a powerful result in cocoon parameters.
