Abstract
India produces the greatest quantity of silk in sericulture, second only
to China. It includes an environmentally friendly production process and gives
tribal people women included more job options. The research was carried out in
2021–2022 on 150 farmers from the same district, both trained and untrained.
Trained farmers in the year of 2019-2020 (January to December - Batch wise)
underwent five days of training at Tamil Nadu Sericulture Training Institute,
Hosur. A pre – tested schedule was administrated to collect information on the
cost incurred for different input cultural operations and returns. Sample cost
accounting method was employed to work the out cost and return profile of
mulberry leaf production and silkworm rearing per year. The parameters were
analyzed for the trained and untrained farmers, cost of production, yield (leaf
and cocoon) and income. This study assesses to impact of training on yield and
income for trained and untrained farmers as: 1. Reared of Dfls / acre / year
trained category on 759 (Bombyx mori) Dfls and untrained farmers reared to 692
Dfls (Bombyx mori). 2. Yield per kg/ year trained farmers produced 644 kg of
cocoon and untrained category on 540 kg of cocoon 3. Gross income generated to
trained farmers Rs. 3, 85,209 lakhs and untrained farmers Rs. 3,05,769 lakhs.4.
Expenditure of cocoon production wise trained and untrained Rs. 2,27,580 &
Rs. 2,07,450 lakhs. 5.Net return of trained and untrained farmers wise
Rs.1,57,629 /- lakh and Rs.1,00,003 cost of production per kg of cocoon was
trained category in Rs. 341/- and untrained farmers Rs. 3951/- 7. Cocoon yield
(%) wise trained 85 per cent and untrained 78 per cent.
