Research projects should be properly planned, organized, executed and monitored<br />
so as to achieve the expected outcome within the time frame. Any delay in starting<br />
or completion of a committed project, abandonment in between, not reaching the<br />
goals or fulfilling the objectives, etc. shall lead to losing the weightage in RFD.<br />
Although many projects have been concluded as targeted, very few yielded<br />
utilisable output. Hence the RFD should be linked to the output.<br />
Under RFD, the performance of each institute is evaluated mainly based on the<br />
following parameters:<br />
• Number of Research Projects concluded as per schedule<br />
• Achieving the fixed objectives / goals.<br />
• Number of technologies generated; new information gathered; theories<br />
postulated and verified; etc.<br />
• Technology accepted by the target groups and extent of absorption.<br />
• Number of persons trained, their level of absorption of knowledge and skills<br />
• <strong>Silk</strong> Productivity in the mandated area<br />
All the R&D institutions of CSB should enter into an agreement with the <strong>Central</strong> Office, to<br />
take up a reasonable target and submit the required input.<br />
Highlights of Research Outcome for the year 2011-12:<br />
The Directors/Officers-in-Charge of the Research institutions presented the<br />
highlights of R&D activities of the year 2011-12 as follows:<br />

Host <strong>Plan</strong>t improvement<br />
• In Final Yield Evaluation, three newly evolved mulberry genotypes out yielded V1<br />
variety by 11-12 % under optimal conditions of irrigation. Two of them out yielded<br />
RC-1 by 24 % under sub-optimal conditions of irrigation. In another trial one new<br />
genotype out-yielded V-1 by 21% under irrigated conditions; and the S-13 by 30%<br />
under rain fed conditions.<br />
• Developed a rapid tissue test for identification of nutrient deficiencies in mulberry.<br />
• “Poshan” – a nutrient mixture of macro and micronutrients for deficiency disorders<br />
has been commercialized.<br />
• Root rot and root knot diseases were controlled with leaves of Brassica juncea,<br />
Raphanus sativus and mustard oil cake.<br />
• ‘Navinya’ - a bio-formulation for control of root-rot disease of mulberry was<br />
commercialized.<br />
<strong>Silk</strong>worm Improvement<br />
• Identified 3 new three-way-crosses viz., FC1xCSR2, FC3xCSR2 & FC3xCSR17<br />
with high productive traits of pupation rate >95%, shell% >22, filament length 1200<br />
m, raw silk 19% and neatness 94p.<br />
