In the meantime, whole cocoon weight, hatchabillty and other economic parameters were considered in new variety breeding. Through 14 generations of hybrid breeding for over 7 years, two new tussah varieties had been successfully obtained. The breeding results of DW were as follows : the 1 000-cocoon weight was 11.57 kg; the whole cocoon weight was 12.06 g; the cocoon shell rate was 12.22% ; and the larval-pupal integrated survival rate was 95.87%. The breeding re- sults of GH were as follows: the 1 000-cocoon weight was 11.52 kg; the whole cocoon weight was 11.95 g; the cocoon shell rate was 12.66% ; and the larval-pupal integrated survival rate was 90.37%.展开更多
