The magnetic field influences the functioning of biological system, as the life developed under the influence of the earth's geomagnetic field. All the tissues of the body and nervous system carry electromagnetic charges and the cell regulation is governed by electromagnetic currents of the body. The body itself creates a magnetic field termed as bio-magnetism. The use of magnet in medical sciences has been reported through the ages, as in recent years, it has been the subject of world wide interest.The present investigation concluded that the exposure of Bombyx mori cocoons in 3000 gauss...

The perusal of literature reveals that most of the work on the influence of temperature on Bombyx mori has been restricted to certain parameters as a source of scattered information but in so many other parameters like various developmental performances, silk producing potential and some biochemical aspects, many gap still exit in our knowledge. Keeping this in view it has been proposed to undertake comprehensive study on the effect of varying rearing temperature regimes on the fecundity, incubation period of eggs, hatchability, performance of larvae and pupae, silk producing potential and...

The outcome of this investigative study is expected to have tremendous ecological and applied significance in the sense that the knowledge derived from this study will be helpful to elucidate further various features involved in the silkworm rearing which will fit in well in the commercial production of silk in Tarai belt of Uttar Pradesh and else-where in India. The present investigation is important and interesting from academic as well as economic point of view. A part from adding to our ecological knowledge of insect development and growth, it may also help to device suitable rearing...

The magnetic field influences the responses of biological system, as the life developed under the influence of the earth's geomagnetic field. All the tissues of the body and nervous system carry electromagnetic charges and the cell regulation is governed by electromagnetic currents of the body. The body itself creates a magnetic field termed as biomagnetism. The medical use of magnets has been reported through the ages, as, in recent years, been the subject of world wide interest. The space research has shown that the loss of calcium from the bone, in astronauts, is due to lac of magnetic...
