correcting nutrient
deficiencies in
mulberry (2009)
multinutrient formulation has been developed for
correcting micronutrient deficiencies in mulberry.
The cost–benefit ratio is 1:40.
Silkworm powder Silkworms can be used as food supplements in
health due to its high value protein. Silkworm larval
powder is a blood glucose-lowering agent or anti
diabetic agent. Also an anti-aging and antihypertension
agent.

De-oiled pupa powder contains important minerals
like Na, K, Ca, and P. vitamins, especially vitamin B2,
nicotinic acid, folic acid and vitamin B1. Pupal
powder is generally used as human food
supplement as food additive in countries like Korea,
China and Japan.
Identified the botanical extracts for control of root
rot and mealy bug: 5% Citronella oil performed
better towards controlling of root mealy bug
(Paraputo sp.) followed by 5% Neem oil and 5%
Neem leaf extract without any adverse effect on
silkworms rearing.
The technology is being popularized to generate
income by the farmers to compensate less income
from sericulture due to low leaf yield during
establishment period of mulberry garden. Mulberry
in combination with green gram, cowpea, mustard
and amaranth during March-May, June-Aug, Sept-
Nov and Dec-Feb seasons have been identified to
fetch additional income by the farmers.
Extent of coverage: 3.5 acres covered under
validation
Vermicompost has been produced successfully by
utilizing sericulture and other farm waste. The
technology has been passed on at farmer’s level
and 18 such vermeries have been developed by
farmers in Jammu region.
Demonstrated and popularized the technology
through extension services of State Sericulture
Department. Practice with incorporation of
Dhaincha (Sesbania rostrata) with 5 MT FYM and 1
MT Vermicompost is cost effective technology for
muga plantation
Demonstrated at farmers fields for popularization.
Practiced muga culture with live stock farming to
enhance the farm income
Large scale demonstration is being carried out. Leaf
