• Spraying of Jeevan Sudha (botanical formulation against virosis) increased cocoon<br />
production by 10-12 cocoons/dfl.<br />
• A compact vertical reeling cum spinning machine was developed jointly with DOS,<br />
Jharkhand. The machine yields 200 g of raw silk per day.<br />
• Two productive lines of oak tasar silkworm producing 65 and 74 cocoons/dfl were<br />
developed.<br />

Human Resource Development and Extension Programmes<br />
• 1130 Persons were trained under various training programmes and 12,089 persons<br />
were exposed to various extension programmes like field days, farmers’ days,<br />
Vichar goshtis and Farmers’ meet cum Exhibitions at various nested units of the<br />
institute.<br />
Transfer of Technology<br />
• IPR with chawki silkworm rearing under nylon net followed by late age rearing<br />
• IPM for the control of gall infestation<br />
• Foliar spray of urea for quality leaf production<br />
• Foliar spray of leaf surface microbes (LSM) for control of tasar silkworm diseases<br />
Decisions<br />
Complete the testing of reeling cum spinning machine in consultation with CSTRI,<br />
Bangalore and identify the best reeling machines within June, 2012.<br />
All the technologies should be popularized in the field.<br />
In all the front line technology demonstrations the bench mark and the targets<br />
should be clearly mentioned.<br />

• Multiplied the three plus tree genotypes viz., PT-27, PT-11 and PT-16 of som<br />
having better growth, leaf yield, disease resistance and rearing characters.<br />
• Developed a model for fertilizer application based on soil nutrient status for<br />
cultivation of som.<br />
• The leaf blight caused by Coletrotricum gloeosporioides was found to reduce by<br />
86.3% with the application of “Phyto-blighton”.<br />
• A technique for retaining som leaf fresh upto 8 days was developed.<br />
• A polythene device for practicing indoor rearing was developed in which survival of<br />
II instar worms was found to be 65.8%.<br />
• 8 wild muga silkworm stocks are under ex-situ conservation at RMRS, Boko. Out of<br />
these, Aa00-1 collected from South Garo Hills showed 96% polymorphism.<br />
