Heritability of cocoon filament production in bivoltine silkworm hybrids was studied using full diallel crossed among PH2, PH3, PH5, PH8, PH9 and PH10. Thirty selected silkworm hybrids and 6 parental lines were assigned in the randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Genetic analysis was done using Griffing (1956) method 1 model 2 and broad and narrow sense heritability. Three consecutive experiments were conducted at Chiang Mai Sericultural Experiment Station in three periods: June-July 1996, September-October 1996 and January-February 1997. Broad sense heritability of sound pupa percentage, good cocoon percentage, single cocoon weight and single cocoon shell weight in period I, II and III was 16.51-44.94, 33.77-50.00 and 46.95-88.91 percent, respectively, and narrow sense heritability was 3.97-33.32, 6.79-24.92 and 12.49-30.41 percent, respectively. One high heritability was found among three experimental periods in terms of broad sense heritability in period III. Therefore, silkworm improvement using some characteristics as indicators should be considered.
