Abstract:

Host preference by Uzifly Exorista bombycis L. (Diptera : Tachinidae) to pure line bivoltine breeds FC1 and FC2 (Bombyx mori L.) and economical loss in seed cocoon production have been studied. The result indicated that FC1 produced more yield and was less susceptible to uzifly attack (10%) while FC2 was more susceptible to uzify attack (30%) FC1 x FC2 (double hybrid) was very interestingly, also found least susceptible to uzifly attack (6%).
