| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted during 2020-21 to analyze the knowledge and technology adoption of bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearers in Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts of Karnataka state. Thirty silkworm rearers practicing bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearing and another thirty silkworm rearers practicing multi × bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearing were randomly selected in the two districts. With regard to the recommended mulberry cultivation and improved silkworm rearing practices there was a highly significant difference in respect of mean knowledge score and adoption scores between bivoltine and multi × bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearers. It was also found from the study that, there existed a highly significant difference in respect of yield (mulberry leaf and cocoon) and income between the bivoltine and multi × bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearers. Lack of knowledge on pruning method, scarcity of irrigation water and availability of fertilizers in time were the three major mulberry production constraints faced by the bivoltine and multi × bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearers. Whereas, lack of knowledge on size of rearing hall and rearing equipment were the major silkworm rearing constraints encountered by both bivoltine and multi × bivoltine hybrid silkworm rearers. Further, it was found that the major marketing constraints faced by the respondents were lack of knowledge on cocoon grading and fluctuating market prices for cocoons. Providing minimum support price, timely and adequate supply of quality inputs and need based training programmes to the sericulturistsare the major suggestions expressed by them to increase the production and improve the quality of bivoltine silk. | en_US |
