Tasar host plant based integrated farming system<br />
comprising of leguminous and other cash crops<br />
been found economically viable and remunerative<br />
for the tasar growers. Net income from the system<br />
ranges from Rs. 23,000 to 41,000/ha with additional<br />
income of Rs. 4000 – 18000/- per hectare from<br />
intercropping of the leguminous crops<br />
Integrated farming system with vegetable and<br />
horticultural crops increased the farmers income<br />
Combination of fodder crop, horticulture, forestry,<br />
animal husbandry etc., Mulberry based integrated<br />
farming system has effectively brought about<br />
enterprise diversification for sustainability and also<br />
augment income generation through better<br />
management of farm resources. The highest net<br />
farm income at farmer’s field comes from Field<br />
crop+ mulberry +Vegetable cropping system. It is<br />
being adopted by farmers having sufficient<br />
resources.<br />
Integrated disease management technologies have<br />
been developed for control of foliar and soil borne<br />
diseases of mulberry involving microbial agents like<br />
Trichoderma species, Pseudomonas species etc.,<br />
Similarly a new bio-formulation for control of root<br />
rot disease in mulberry ‘Navinya’ a 80% plant based<br />
products developed for effective control of the<br />
disease in mulberry gardens.<br />
Pupa oil is rich in PUFA (Poly unsaturated fatty<br />
acid). It contains oleic, palmitic, stearic, palmitoleic,<br />
linolenic, linoleic, arachidic, myristic, lauric acids<br />
and phospholipids and used as massage oil, paints,<br />
varnish soaps, candle industry, pharmaceuticals,<br />
bio-diesel, and plasticiser.<br />
Sericin refined from cocoon/silk contains 18 amino<br />
acids besides 8 essential amino acids, which are<br />
necessary for human body. It is an excellent protein,<br />
antioxidant, coagulant, and chemo protective and<br />
nutrient supplement. Sericin can be used as raw<br />
material for manufacturing moisturizing creams and<br />
lotions in cosmetics because of its high moisture<br />
absorption and preservative ability. The Institute<br />
also developed a sericine rich (95%) silkworm hybrid<br />
for this purpose.<br />
