ABSTRACT

MR2 variety mulberry leaves were sterilized with UV light for 5, 10 and 15 minutes. These leaves were fed to PM x NB4 D2 hybrid silkworm Bombyx mori Linn. life stages and recorded the macromolecular contents (total protein, reducing sugar and glycogen) and digestive enzymes (amylase, invertase and protease) activities. Results revealed feeding of silkworm B. mori with UV treated mulberry leaves discloses the enhancement of nutritive value of the host plant thereby increasing the macromolecular contents and digestive enzymes activities.
