Abdullaeva, L.
The formation of all living organisms, including the silkworm, occurs under the influence of environmental and hereditary factors. The environmental factors that affect the growth, development, and fertility of the silkworm include the quality and quantity of feed, temperature, humidity, feeding area, etc. It should be noted that the development, growth, and fertility of the silkworm are most influenced by the feed factor. One of the most important tasks facing the science of sericulture is to obtain a large number of high-quality cocoons using mulberry leaves in a single amount. In our experiment, we used leaves of the Khanlar-tut mulberry variety. The following introduced species were selected from the breeds: Çin-21, Çin-29, Ukrayna-1, Ukrayna-2, which were grown in sheltered rooms. The experiment consisted of subgroup II and variants IV. During the experiment, the adaptation of these breeds to the conditions of our region, as well as the reaction to leaves (feed) of local mulberry varieties, the influence of the quantity and quality of feed were studied. These studies will provide important assessments and recommendations for the cultivation of silkworms using mulberry leaves to increase productivity, improve quality and, most importantly, reduce the cost of production.
