Andhra Local for<br />

higher productivity<br />

Popularized eri spinning machine among farmers<br />

through training and practicing at traditional<br />

farmers’ level. Increase in yarn realization &<br />

production of finer count to get higher productivity<br />

& return<br />

Demonstrated in farmers fields. It is in practice at<br />

certain private farmers’ level. Introduced Ginger,<br />

Turmeric and Colocasia as intercrops in Som and<br />

Kesseru plantation for enhancing farm income.<br />

Two productive castor genotypes have been<br />

identified and introduced in the farmers field to get<br />

higher leaf yield.<br />

The protocol enables raising of plantlets from stem<br />

cuttings with a success rate of about 80%. The<br />

system facilitates propagation of desired<br />

genotypes, which hitherto were propagated<br />

through seeds.<br />

This reduces the gall infestation and facilitates<br />

availability of quality leaf for silkworm rearing.<br />

Indoor rearing of the chawki worms (up<br />

to 2 nd moult) ensures development of healthy<br />

worms with higher survival<br />

The combination SM5 increased the quality leaf<br />

yield by 27.45% in T. arjuna and 26.55% in T.<br />

tomentosa over control with significant<br />

improvement in cocoon characters<br />

The improved line of the Andhra local ecorace<br />

developed through hybridization with Daba shows<br />

higher fecundity (230), cocoon yield (26<br />

cocoons/dfl) and filament length (802 m) over the<br />

Andhra local ecorace (fecundity: 190, Cocoon yield:<br />

6 cocoons/dfl, filament length : 662 m)<br />
