Assessing Performance of Bivoltine Hybrid Seed Production During Winter Season by Processing Seed Cocoons Procured from Southern States

The present findings on grainage performance during winter season which is first ever attempt at SSPC, Udhampur showed that the grainage operation was carried out successfully at SSPC, Udhampur as the parameters studied depicted better eggs recovery in both the hybrids prepared i.e., 84.76g/kg in FC1 and 79.93g/kg in FC2 double hybrid. Further, the cocoons dfls ratio over actual number of cocoons was found 2.7:1 in FC1 and 2.9:1 in FC2.
