Research projects should be properly planned, organized, executed and monitored so as to achieve the expected outcome within the time frame. Any delay in starting or completion of a committed project, abandonment in between, not reaching the goals or fulfilling the objectives, etc. shall lead to losing the weightage in RFD. Although many projects have been concluded as targeted, very few yielded utilisable output. Hence the RFD should be linked to the output. Under RFD, the performance of each institute is evaluated mainly based on the following parameters: • Number of Research Projects concluded as per schedule • Achieving the fixed objectives / goals. • Number of technologies generated; new information gathered; theories postulated and verified; etc. • Technology accepted by the target groups and extent of absorption. • Number of persons trained, their level of absorption of knowledge and skills • Silk Productivity in the mandated area All the R&D institutions of CSB should enter into an agreement with the Central Office, to take up a reasonable target and submit the required input. Highlights of Research Outcome for the year 2011-12: The Directors/Officers-in-Charge of the Research institutions presented the highlights of R&D activities of the year 2011-12 as follows: CSR&TI, Mysore Host Plant improvement • In Final Yield Evaluation, three newly evolved mulberry genotypes out yielded V1 variety by 11-12 % under optimal conditions of irrigation. Two of them out yielded RC-1 by 24 % under sub-optimal conditions of irrigation. In another trial one new genotype out-yielded V-1 by 21% under irrigated conditions; and the S-13 by 30% under rain fed conditions. • Developed a rapid tissue test for identification of nutrient deficiencies in mulberry. • “Poshan” – a nutrient mixture of macro and micronutrients for deficiency disorders has been commercialized. • Root rot and root knot diseases were controlled with leaves of Brassica juncea, Raphanus sativus and mustard oil cake. • ‘Navinya’ - a bio-formulation for control of root-rot disease of mulberry was commercialized. Silkworm Improvement • Identified 3 new three-way-crosses viz., FC1xCSR2, FC3xCSR2 & FC3xCSR17 with high productive traits of pupation rate >95%, shell% >22, filament length 1200 m, raw silk 19% and neatness 94p. 2
• A newly developed double hybrid DH2 (CSR50xCSR52) x (CSR53xCSR51) was tested in large scale with selected farmers in three states and recorded a cocoon yield of 67.5 kg as against 66.8 kg/ 100 dfls in the control hybrid (CSR2x 27) x (CSR6x 26). • Two new double hybrids viz., (D1 x D2) x (D11 x D13) having shorter larval duration with average cocoon yield of 89 kg/100 DFLs and another (CSR2 x CSR50) x (CSR51 x CSR26) with average yield of 90 kg /100 DFLs were identified. • One SSR marker for IFV resistance was identified. • SNPs of three linkage groups (8, 9 and 23) showing association with NPV tolerance were identified. • A bivoltine male parent ‘CSR50’ has been identified for multi x bi hybrid production. • CSR16 x CSR17, CSR46 x CSR47 and Gen3 x Gen2 were tested at farmers’ level and obtained cocoon yields of 67.5 kg, 65.3 kg and 68.1 kg/100 dfls respectively. • Initiated large scale production of exotic parasitoid, Acerophagus papayae towards biological control of papaya mealy bug, Paracoccus marginatus in mulberry. Technology Validation, Demonstration and Transfer Following ten improved technologies were validated, demonstrated and popularized through different RSRSs, RECs and REC Sub-units. • Testing of mulberry varieties - RC1 and RC2 under moisture stress conditions, AR12 for alkaline soil and G2 for chawki rearing • Integrated Nutrient Management for mulberry gardens. • Demonstration of composting of sericultural residues • Demonstration of disinfection and maintenance of hygiene • Popularization/ testing of new silkworm hybrids • Popularization of composite cocoon harvester to harvest cocoons from rotary mountages • Demonstration of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for leaf roller and tukra in mulberry • Establishment of mass production units and demonstration of field efficacy of exotic parasitoids of Papaya mealy bug Paracoccus marginatus • Demonstration of the efficacy of parasitoids for the control of uzi fly • Demonstration of management practices against whitefly in hot spot areas in Mandya and Mysore districts. Human Resource Development • Two International training programmes under JICA were organized. 28 participants from third world countries like Kenya (2), Nigeria (4), Uganda (3), Ghana (4), Nepal (5), Ethiopia (5), Egypt (2) and Indonesia (3) were attended the training programme. • A total 4041 persons were trained in 30 batches on different aspects of sericulture Patent application filed 3
