Abstract

The silkworm larval were not negatively affected when the hormonal product R -20458 were applicated. The larvae and cocoon weight were affected by the concentrations of the hormonal product R-20458 reaching the maximum weight between 2.50 to 3.68 ppm concentrations. The raw silk porcentage were affected by the periods of tests realization.
