Abstract

Our researches had as main purpose the making of a comparative study concerning the correlation between the raw and dry cocoons at some mulberry silkworm breeds. Analyzing the obtained results concerning the characteristics of the raw and dry cocoon as well as the correlation between them, we revealed that the lowest and the highest values alternate from a trait to another and from a breed to other ones, a positive correlation couldn’t be established for the traits studied.
