| dc.description.abstract | The present study was undertaken in bivoltine seed cocoon area of Belgaum and Uttar Kannada district. The specific objectives of the study were the development of grade standards for bivoltine seed cocoon, to study the influence of quality and non-quality factors on price, to study the cost and returns of bivoltine seed cocoon, to study the trend in prices of bivoltine seed cocoon and problems faced by the farmers in production and marketing of bivoltine seed cocoon. Composite indexing technique was employed to develop grade standards. For the purpose of identifying the importance of each parameter appropriate weights were assigned to quality factors of seed cocoon. Stepwise multiple regression technique was employed to study the influence of quality and non quality factors on prices of seed cocoon. A large number of variables were found insignificant in determining the price of seed cocoon by visual inspection. This makes clear that there is a need to evaluate quality characters of seed cocoon to determine the price paid to the producers in accordance with quality. The gross and net returns from the seed cocoon were amounted to Rs. 89,219 and 45,036 per acre of mulberry garden respectively. among the cost components operation cost formed the major item of cost. The price of seed cocoon in both Belgaum and Sirsi market shows increasing trend. The major problems expressed by the farmers in production were incident of pest and disease, non availability of dfl’s in time, high wages to workers and in marketing of seed cocoon fluctuation in prices, unremunerative prices, absence of quality based pricing which can be over come by strengthening extension system, providing adequate credit facility and introducing scientific grading. | en_US |
