The response of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. to phytoecdysteroid (PE) when administered at different ages of 5∨th instar was studied in the popular bivoltine (CSR2×CSR4) and multi×bivoltine (PM×CSR2) silkworm hybrids, reared on the Victory-1 variety of mulberry leaves. PE was administered to 5∨th instar silkworm per os at a rate of 250 ㎍ per 100 larvae to different batches of silkworm at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hrs and at the onset of cocoon spinning when a few larvae were ripe. The larval and mounting duration, cocoon yield and cocoon characters were influenced by PE.
