High school student here, I am planning an experiment with B. Mori.
I would like to do the following, but, I am wondering if this is even possible?
My Plan:
Feed b. mori with:
-graphite powder
-b-12 vitamins
-and some sort of growth hormone
I am not sure if they would eat graphite/vitamin coated mulberry leaves?
My goal is to try to obtain bigger silkworms with stronger silk, and a longer larval stage.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Jason Ni
