Abstract
Sericulture is an agro–based cottage industry
and of the prominent enterprises involved in a series of on-farm, off-farm, and
industrial activities. This study analyzes the knowledge level of bivoltine
technologies by trained and untrained sericulture farmers in Coimbatore
District, Tamil Nadu, India. The study was conducted with 300 trained and
untrained farmers from the same district. Trained farmers (Batch-wise)
underwent five days of training at Tamil Nadu Sericulture Training Institute,
Hosur. The parameters were analyzed in trained and untrained farmers practicing
Bivoltine technologies., viz 1. Knowledge level of Mulberry technologies viz.,
Soil testing and reclamation, Mulberry variety, spacing of plantation,
Irrigation method, Pruning, Integrated nutrient management like farm yard
manure application, Vermicompost and Biofertilizers application, green manure
and Chemical fertilizers application, Integrated water management like Rain
water harvesting set-up, Basin storage method, Water recharge setup, and farm
ponds. Integrated Pest management like insecticide, and biological control. 2.
Knowledge level of silkworm technologies viz., Separate Silkworm Rearing shed,
Disinfection, shoot rearing, Moulting & spinning care, providing bed
spacing, Applying Bed –Disinfection, Feeding per day 2 times, regulated
temperature and humidity, Spinning care, Montage usage – collapse montages, IPM
– Mechanical method, Uzi trap application, Uzi powder application and
Biological control for (Nesolynx thymus) Cocoon harvesting at an
appropriate time, transportation at the right time and marketing at right time.
