However the weight of the treated larvae showed considerable weight decrease up to 37% weight.. All the economic traits of male and female adults treated with fungicide decreased but this decrease is not significant in cocoon shell weight and hatching percentage. The comparison of means using Tukey test at 5% confidence level did not show any effect related to the concentration   REFERENCES Dutta, M., Balavenkatasubbaiah, M., Nataraju, B., Sharma, S.D., Chandrasekharan, K, Selvakumar, T. and Thiagarajan, V.
