Interrelation between viability of silkworm larvae Bombyx mori and natural electromagnetic fields

Abstract

The interrelation of viability of silkworm larvae with natural electromagnetic fields is investigated. On the large statistical material found by the UAAS Institute of Sericulture for 50 years, it is shown, that the geomagnetic activity is characterized by weak influence on viability of larvae populations (4,7 %). The greatest caterpillars’ viability is observed in years of a high level of geomagnetic activity.
