Abstract

Introduction: Sericulture is an important recreation for the economic development of rural areas because of the high employment orientation, low capital investment, and remunerative production. Materials and Method: This study analyzes the adoption 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. Results and Discussion: The parameters were analyzed in trained and untrained farmers practicing Bivoltine technologies., viz 1. Adoption 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, farm ponds. Integrated Pest management like mechanical methods, insecticide, and biological control. 2. Adoption level of silkworm technologies viz., Separate Silkworm Rearing shed, Application of Disinfection and bed disinfection, shoot rearing and Feeding per day 2 times, Moulting & spinning care, providing bed spacing, regulated temperature and humidity, IPM – Mechanical method, Uzi trap application, Uzi powder application, used sex pheromone, and Biological control for (Nesolynx thymus) Cocoon harvesting at an appropriate time, transportation at the right time and marketing at right time. Conclusion: The concluding study majority of trained farmers have full and partial adoption of bivoltine technologies.
