technology
Nitrofert inoculum to be made by adding water (1:1
ratio) so as to make a thick paste.
Basal ends of mulberry cuttings to be dipped in the
slurry upto a depth of 10 cm for 30 minutes.
250 grams of Nitrofert biofertilizer is required for
1000 cuttings.
Inoculated saplings to be uprooted with intact root
system from nursery and transplanted in the field.
Glyphodes pyloalis has been identified as a severe
pest of mulberry in temperate region and
Mimastra cyanura in sub-tropics of the state. The
management practices of both these pests has
been worked out by the Institute and
recommendations made accordingly.
A complete IPDM module has been developed by
the institute for control of mulberry pests and
diseases.
Under North Indian conditions, Grasserie has been
found most prevalent and its prevalence is about
25 to 32 % at farmer’s level. The crop loss
estimation is in the range of 11 - 14 Kg per 100
DFLs. The institute has developed an integrated
disease management package to minimize the crop
loss caused due to this disease and other diseases
as well.
Developed Package and practice Viz., Top clipping
in march and bottom pruning in June for
maximization of leaf yield in rainfed condition.
Developed technology of Integrated Management
of Mulberry Pests and Diseases in Kashmir Region:
integrated pest and disease management (IPDM)
module having all the components compatible
with the agronomical practices for mulberry
cultivation is outcome of the study.
Developed package of practices for cultivation of
mulberry on different slopes of land with soil
moisture conservation and water management
practices to increase mulberry acreage in hilly areas
for production of Bivoltine silk in the state for
sustainable sericulture development.
Multiplex PCR technique has been developed (using
degenerate and non-conventional primers) for the
simultaneous detection of different pathogens
NPV, DNV and Microsporidia causing Grasserie,
Flacherie and Pebrine diseases in silkworms. The
technique is being used for testing P3 layings to
detect the pathogens at an early stage.
Eco-friendly technology package for seed crop
rearing has been formulated
