Abstract
The purpose. Rate genotypes from the gene pool collection of silkworm for use in organic silk production in Ukraine. Methods. Laboratory and analytical, hybridization and selection, thermostatic, statistical data using bio-economic indicators genotypes silkworm. Results. Selected genotypes from the gene pool collection of silkworm are resistant to adverse environmental factors. They are therefore suitable for organic production of larvae, pupae, and cocoons of silkworm eggs. At the same culture conditions moth should be close to nature, including feeding caterpillars organic mulberry leaves. The genotypes have a higher viability of caterpillars, cocoon weight, the proportion of high-quality cocoons and cocoon crop compared to the control breed Merefa 6. Conclusions. Selected from a gene pool collection silkworm genotypes may be used in organic production system sericulture Ukraine.
