title: Studies on the effect of pesticides on the reproduction of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. I. Effects of chemicals administered during the larval stage on egg-laying and hatching.
abstract: The administration of sublethal pesticide doses to silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) larvae resulted in marked reproductive abnormalities: a decrease in the total number of eggs laid; an increase in the number of non-fertilized eggs; the death of embryos in the early developmental stage; the inability of embryos, developed to the stage just before hatching, to hatch; and the death of newly hatched silkworms.
