Economics of egg production is vital for grainages since it is a commercial preposition which necesitates recovery of maximum number of layings with high fecundity. Attempts have been made to increase reproductive rate by multiple mating in Pure Mysore (PM), a multivoltine race and Kalimpong-A (KA) and N134D2, the bivoltine races of silkworm Bombyx mori L.
