About the CSR&TI
CSR&TI, Pampore with its two Regional Sericultural Research Stations at Jammu and Dehradun and eighteen Research Extension Centres and one P4 Station at Manasbal pro-vides need based Research, Development/Extension and HRD support to the states of North India viz., J&K, H.P., U.P., Uttarakhand, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana.
With the primary aim to boost and revitalize the silk industry of J&K in particular and North India in general, the Institute has implemented a number of Research Programmes, which led to the development of region/season specific technologies resulting in increased produc-tivity levels. Based on the ground realities, the Institute after consulting the active players engaged in Development of Silk Sector developed a “Model” suitable for Development of Silk Industry in the North Western Region.
The Institute at Pampore as a part of National responsibility maintains a rich germplasm of 165 silkworm races; 67 mulberry genotypes and 80 mulberry genotypes of temperate origin at Manasbal, for conservation and utilization.
The Institute has a proper mechanism for research evaluation and monitoring system. At the Institute level, the in-house committee known as Research Council (RC) headed by the Director regularly discuss/review/ recommend the programmes of the Institute. RC is the recommendary committee to Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of the Institute, which is presently headed by Dr. M. Z. Chishti, Professor Emeritus, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, with a number of eminent scientists as its members. The progress of work is finally re-
viewed in the Research Co-ordination Committee (RCC) of the Central Silk Board.
The Institute is located at Gallander, Pampore at a distance of approximately 16 kms from Srinagar city on the Srinagar – Jammu National Highway. The nearest airport is Srinagar while as the nearest railway station is Jammu Tawi, which is at a distance of 285 km.
The main Institute is headed by Dr. M. A. Khan, Director and the two Regional Stations at Jammu and Dehradun by Dr. B. B. Bindroo, Scientist-D (upto 25th March, 2011) and Shri M. M. Bhat, Scientist-D (upto 31st January, 2011) respectively.

FOREWORD It gives me immense pleasure to place before you the Annual Re-port of Central Sericultural Research & Training Institute, Pampore,
depicting the activities carried out by the Institute during 2010-
2011.
The Institute caters to the Research and Development needs of the North Western States of India, which practice sericulture, predomi-
nantly the bivoltine, mostly under Temperate and sub-tropical areas.
With the primary aim to boost and revitalize the silk industry of J&K in particular and other North Western states in general, the Institute implemented a number of Research & Devel-opment programmes, which resulted in development of number of region/location specific need based technologies, contributing in increased crop productivity and marked improve-
ment in quality parameters.
As a National repository and to meet the basic requirement of mulberry and silkworm breed-ers of the Institute and sister organizations, the Institute continued to maintain 67 mulberry accessions at Pampore and 80 mulberry genotypes of temperate origin at P4, BSF, Manasbal, besides, 165 silkworm accessions are being maintained (mostly bivoltine) as germplasm bank
at CSR&TI, Pampore. The two Regional Stations at Sahaspur, Dehradun and Miransahib, Jammu also maintained a workable germplasm bank of 58 and 44 bivoltine accessions re-
spectively.
During the period under report, attention was focused to address the priority areas identified for implementation during XI Plan period with the prime objective to ensure holistic develop-ment of silk industry in the region involving all stakeholders to bring about improvements in production/productivity.
Productive/improved mulberry genotypes and silkworm breeds are the two vital inputs to achieve higher productivity and with sustained efforts the Institute was able to evolve a num-ber of new productive mulberry genotypes notably S-106, S-140 and S-145 which are pre-sently under multilocational trials before their release to the field. To meet the growing de-mand of the farmers, the Institute also evolved new silkworm accessions and tried these hy-brid combinations notably Pam1117 x Pam114 and CSR2 x Pam117 in the field which showed superiority over ruling hybrid SH6 x NB4D2 in terms of yield, quality of silk, low defective cocoon percentage and good post cocoon parameters. In consultation with NSSO, Central Silk Board, efforts were made to get the newly authorized silkworm hybrids notably Dun6 X Dun22 and Dun17 X Dun18 into seed channel for their mass multiplication. The efforts of the Central Silk Board, in introduction of double silkworm hybrids in the states of
North India also yielded positive results, especially in terms of increase in production of 10-15% more over single hybrid, CSR2 X CSR4. For sustenance of the bivoltine silk sector in the region, the Institute continued to implement the Cluster Development Programme, as the Flag Ship Programme for development of silk industry and presently six clusters viz., CDC, Tral, CDC, Bandipora, CDC, Nowshera, CDC, Tikri (J&K), CDC, Hamirpur (HP) and CDC, Kalsi (Uttarakhand) are contributing effectively in upliftment of the socio-economic conditions of the poor sericulture farmers in the region. The Institute took a lead in implementation of Central Sector Schemes during XI Plan and successfully created soil testing facilities at the main Institute, Pampore and at RSRS, Jammu & RSRS, Sahaspur in order to ascertain the soil profile of the working area and recommended soil based agronomical package for ensuring better productivity. This Institute also under took a collaborative study on disease forecasting and forewarning system, through a network of extension centres in order to develop a model for the purpose to effectively check the disease incidence and outbreak, being the major threat to the cocoon growers in this region. To meet the technological needs of the farmers, the Institute, continued to test verify the developed technologies in nearly all the states of North Western India, validate them before
advocating their adoption. Under, HRD support, the Institute alongwith its Regional Stations imparted training on various areas of sericulture to 705 personnel, which included 310 DOS officials, 27 CSB staff and 368 students from various colleges/Universities. The establishment of Farmers Field Schools in nearby all Cluste Development Centres, helped definitely in imparting regular need based training to the farming community with the help of subject matter specialists. The overall efforts of the R&D sector during XI Plan definitely infused new vigour to the silk sector in North Western states especially J&K and H.P. in terms of introduction of multiple cropping system with the prime objective to increase per unit productivity, decrease in rendit-ta and marked improvement in producing only A grade cocoons. Inspite of constraints faced by the Institute in terms of manpower and infrastructure, but greater sharing of responsibilities and team work has made us to tide over the difficulties. The greater support of Central Silk Board during XI Plan and the concerted efforts of the workers compled with greater involvement of the stakeholders have definitely put the sector on path of revival and faster growth. I am also on behalf of the scientists of the Institute; express my deep sense of gratitude to the Hon‟ble Chairman and Member Secretary, Central Silk Board for their immense support towards strengthening the Institute by rendering greater support to the Northern States dur-ing XI Plan period.
Lastly, I express my deep gratitude to the Research Advisory Committee of the Institute, for their regular guidance in shaping the R&D programmes. I would place on record the help of Research Coordination Committee of CSB for their critical evaluation of the Research & Development Programmes and providing valuable expert advice. At the end, I compliment the scientific/administrative fraternity of the Institute enabling me to tide over the difficulties and shaping the things for a better tomorrow. Definitely, the efforts should continue to fur-ther the cause of bivoltines, for which the region has been proud of.

Research highlights of CSR&TI Pampore & its attached units
The major findings of the Institute during 2010-2011 are as under:-
Studies on intercropping of mulberry under temperate conditions revealed that
cultivation of Lavendula officinalis, as an intercrop, can generate an additional in-
come of more than Rs. 8000/- hectare and does not affect the leaf yield of mul-
berry when grown along with mulberry.
Eleven F1 selections have been shortlisted out of 58 evolved selections using dif-
ferent breeding methods. Joint scoring technique has been applied to further
shortlist the selections and S-140, S-145, S-152 and S-106 have been ranked in
that order. Root proliferation of 11 F1 selections has indicated the superiority of
selections in root shoot ratio and superior vigour of plants at sapling stage. Three
F1 selections viz. S-106, S-140 and S-145 have been subjected to Multilocational
trial at three locations in temperate zone of Jammu and Kashmir.
Under the project Improvement of silkworm Bombyx mori.L, 10 breeding popula-
tions for isolation of breeds for sub-optimal conditions have completed F8 genera-
tion in autumn, 2010. The breeding populations SO-4, SO-12 and SO-20 have rec-
orded >94% pupation with 21.84%, 22.16% and 21.57 % shell respectively. Under
isolation of thin denier lines, six breeding populations completed F5 generation in
autumn, 2010. The denier in these lines was recorded in the range of 2.00 to 2.40.
Two productive silkworm hybrids, SBGP22 X SBGP5 and CSR2 X SBGP22 have been
evolved. These hybrids have been found superior over the ruling hybrid SH6 X
NB4D2 in terms of cocoon yield (10-15kg more / 100 DFLs), quality of silk (A
grade), low defective cocoon percentage (5-6% less) and good post cocoon parame-
ters (>81% reelability, 18-19% raw silk and >90 points neatness).
Under maintenance programme, 9 bivoltine races viz. SH6, NB4D2, CSR2, CSR4,
SBGP5, SBGP20, SBGP22, DUN6, and DUN22 are being maintained under breeders
/ parental stock.
Three thermo tolerant silkworm breeding lines have been advanced to F8 genera-
tion at RSRS, Jammu. These lines have performed better in pupation rate and co-
coon characters. During the year 2010-2011 the Institute continued with a compre-
hensive programme of TOT for the Northern States, which include transfer of de-
veloped technologies on the aspect.
Mulberry tree cultivation technology for North India
Leaf harvesting and pruning technology for mulberry trees grown under
sub-tropical conditions of North India.
Vermicomposting technology
Introduction of new silkworm hybrids – Dun6 x Dun21, CS6 x Pam101
and RSJ3 x RSJ1
Intercropping technology for cultivation of medicinal plants with mul-
berry tree/ bush
Plantation in high pH soil/user land at farmers land in Uttar Pradesh
Silkworm cocoon handicrafts technology for women empowerment
Organic farming technology
In order to sustain silk industry, Central Silk Board took an initiative of establish-
ing Sericulture clusters in North India and accordingly six such clusters are oper-
ational. Four clusters viz. CDC, Tral (Pulwama), CDC, Nowshera (Rajouri), Bandipora
and Tikri (Udhampur) are working in J&K; whereas, one cluster each is operational
at Hamirpur, H. P. and Kalsi, Uttarakhand.
The highest cocoon productivity of 47.25 kg per ounce was achieved in CDC Now-
shera during spring, 2010 season.
Three thermo tolerant silkworm breeding lines have been advanced to F8 genera-
tion. These lines have performed better in pupation rate and cocoon characters.
Based on the project “Integrated management of mulberry pests and diseases in
Kashmir region” concluded during 2010, an integrated pest and disease module has
been developed for Kashmir valley.
Data on mulberry pest and diseases is being generated under Central Sector
Scheme for the research project entitled “Forecasting and forewarning system in
sericulture” from 12 test sites of North India.
Preliminary study on phytophagous mite’s fauna of mulberry and extent of damage
to the mulberry foliage has been undertaken as pilot study.
Gene Pool:
CSRTI, Pampore is maintaining 58 mulberry accessions at Pampore.
80 accessions of mulberry are being maintained at P4 BSF, Manasbal as
Temperate Germplasm Bank.
168 silkworm races are being maintained at silkworm Germplasm bank,
Pampore. (Mostly bivoltines)
A working germplasm of 44 silkworm accessions is being maintained at
RSRS, Sahaspur.
58 silkworm genotypes under breeders’ stock and silkworm germplasm
bank are being maintained at RSRS, Jammu.
Seed Production:
F1 seed of SH6 x NB4D2 and CSR x PAM-101 was prepared during
spring, 2010 for supply in 2011. Parental stock of CSR2, CSR4, SH6,
CS6, Pam- 101 and NB4D2 DFLs were prepared at P3 & P2 levels.
125 oounces of F1 silkworm seed of RSJ3 x RSJ1 was prepared by
RSRS, Jammu under TOT programme (35 ounces for autumn, 2010 and
90 ounces for spring, 2011).
Trainings:
During the year under report a total of 705 personnel were imparted
training on different aspects of sericulture including 310 DOS officials,
27 CSB staff and 368 students from various colleges/University.
27 students were enrolled for IGNOU sponsored programme “Certifi-
cate in Sericulture” through three IGNOU study Centres viz. CSR&TI,
Pampore, Kashmir, RSRS, Miransahib, Jammu and REC, Sujanpur, Punjab.
Under Skill Enhancement Programme, 127 Time Scale Farm Workers of
the Institute and its nested units were covered.
Under Seven Farmers Field Schools [FFSs] established by the Insti-
tute, a total of 225 farmers were imparted training on different as-
pects of sericulture with on-field demonstrations in the form of 10 dif-
ferent programmes spread over the year coinciding with different

MULBERRY BREEDING and GENETICS SECTION Acquisition, Conservation, Characterization and Utilization of mulberry
germplasm under temperate conditions
R.K.Fotadar, Anil Dhar and Aftab A. Shabnam
Fifty eight mulberry accessions, representing five species namely M. multicaulis, M. Alba, M. indica, M. bombycis and M. Kayayama were evaluated at Central Sericul-tural Research and Training Institute, Pampore. Out of 58 accessions, 33 are tempe-
rate and 25 are of tropical origin. Information of 27 morphological traits namely,
growth nature, branching nature, young shoot colour, mature shoot colour, phyllo-taxy, lenticel density/sq.cm, lenticels shape, bud shape, leaf apex, leaf shape, leaf
margin, leaf base, leaf surface, leaf texture, leaf nature, leaf lobation, leaf colour, leaf glossiness, leaf area (sq. cm), internodal distance (cm), weight of 100 fresh
leaves (g), leaf yield (kg/plant/crop), moisture content (%), moisture retention (%)
after 6 hours, sex expression and chlorophyll content index (CCI) was generated to develop a catalogue involving the characterization of mulberry genotypes under
temperate conditions. Comparative behaviour of 5 species of mulberry with regard to incidence of disease shows superior behaviour of Morus bombycis with regard to
die back disease. Out of the 58 genotypes, 18, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1 and 34 are from Japan,
China, Russia, Italy, France, Burma and India, respectively. The total number of ac-cessions was grouped into two major groups i.e. temperate and tropical with the
object to promote utilization, classification of mulberry based on their origin since it can assist in making breeding programmes meaningful and directional. Moreover,
some economically important characters namely, number of shoots, total shoot length, internodal distance, weight of 100 leaves, leaf area, leaf petiole ratio and

leaf yield/crop were recorded. Data thus generated was pooled for documenting the findings.
In general growth nature recorded earlier on various parameters was computed sta-
tistically for drawing conclusion and for subsequent documentation. Degree of di-
vergence on the desired parameters for its utility and objectives of the studies was computed (Table 1).
Cataloguing of the accessions can be meaningful since while taking up the crop im-
provement studies, desirable visual characters can be taken into account for select-ing the parents. The knowledge on parental components can make the crop im-
provement more directional and meaningful. The studies have also revealed that the
mulberry genotypes of temperate origin are superior in most of the characters ex-cept in total shoot length and root ability. M. malticaulis has been found to be supe-
rior in most of the characters except in root ability. Since taxonomy of mulberry species is confusing and generating/cataloguing of data on some of the morphologi-
cal traits may assist in identification of accessions. Documentation of the data on
germplasm is essential and it has proved to be bottle neck in the mulberry sericul-ture. Moreover, the studies can help in conserving the mulberry genetic diversity
which is otherwise in a threat of extinction. Table-1: Range of diversity in various growth parameters (evaluatory) of mulberry
genetic resources.

Evaluation of F1 selections of mulberry (Morus spp.) for their suitability
under varied ecozones of temperate conditions of Jammu and Kashmir
Aftab A. Shabnam, R.K. Fotadar and Anil Dhar
The studies have been taken up for identification of a mulberry genotype suitable under
the varied eco-zones of temperate conditions of Kashmir. The F1 selections have been short listed based on their sprouting behaviour, root ability and high leaf yield as envi-
saged in the concluded project entitled, “Breeding of early sprouting and high yielding mulberry variety (ies) amenable to propogation by stem cuttings and high survival ability
for rain fed conditions of Kashmir and other temperate regions of North India”. The ranking of the selections has been done by using joint scoring technique. Subsequently
the trail was laid out at three sites in a randomised block design. The study involves
three F1 selections and one control in both tree and dwarf types of plantation. The rele-vant data related to the objective of the studies was generated.
1. Results indicate less incidence of frost damage in tree type of plantation as
compared to dwarf type.
2. S-145 has shown superior behaviour among the selections which is in conformi-ty with the ranking of selections through statistical technique.
Subsequently the selection was raised at CSR&TI, Pampore for drawing visual observa-
tions and other morphological parameters to consolidate the findings as per the objec-
tives of the studies.
Studies on root proliferation of 11 F1 selections: The studies were taken up to ascertain the behaviour of F1 selection, as regards their behaviour of root proliferation
and to test them under varied eco-zones of temperate conditions of North India for their suitability. Accordingly stem cuttings of 11 short listed F1 selections along with two con-
trols namely Goshoerami and Chinese white were planted in a randomised block design
at CSR&TI, Pampore. The relevant data as per the objectives has been generated with following observations for drawing the conclusion and subsequent multiplication.
1. Results indicate that the selected F1s are better than control in terms of
root/shoot ratio indicating better plant vigour and health at sapling stage.
2. The observation on above and below ground portion of saplings at nursery
stage are in conformity with the ranking of the selections and thereby, help in validation of the technology for evaluation of F1s at nursery stage through sta-
tistical methods.

E01: Intercropping of medicinal/aromatic plants with mulberry
During the year, 2010, the saplings of three medicinal plants namely Atropa bella-donna, Lavendula officinalis and Echinacea purpurea growing in the field in a Ran-
domized Block Design as intercrops under established tree type of mulberry planta-tion of Goshoerami were maintained by providing timely hoeing and weeding. Mul-
berry plantation was maintained following the recommended package of practices for temperate region.
The harvesting was made once in Lavendula officinalis and thrice in Atropa bellado-na during the year 2010.The details of the harvest made from medicinal plants are
furnished in Table-2 Table-2: Details of the harvests of medicinal and aromatic plants as an intercrop

During the second year of its harvest, it was estimated that an additional income of Rs. 3700/- and Rs. 9000/- can be obtained from one acre of plantation by cultivating
Atropa belladonna and Lavendula officinalis respectively as an intercrop without having any significant effect on productivity of foliage.
Data on mulberry trees in terms of moisture content, leaf shoot ratio, 25 leaf weight and leaf yield was recorded during spring and autumn, 2010 and is presented in
Table-3. The treatments were statistically at par with one another in respect of all
the parameters except for leaf shoot ratio during autumn season where the differ-ence between the treatments was significant.

E02: Allelopathic effect of medicinal/aromatic plants on the growth of mulberry: To study the allelopathic effect of three medicinal/aromatic plants, 28
stem cuttings per treatment per replication were treated with 10% root extract of three intercrops by dipping the basal portion of stem cuttings for 48 hours and then
the treated cuttings were planted in nursery in Randomized Block Design.
The data was recorded on rooting ability and height of the saplings. The treatments
did not show any significant difference among the treatments.
ON – FARM TRIALS:
A. To study the effect of biofertilizers in nursery on growth and yield of
mulberry under field conditions.
Rajinder Kour and M. A. Khan
Location : 02 (CSB, Pampore and DOS, Pahoo) Genotype : Chinese White
Treatment : 06 (six)
T-1: No input
T-2: Inoculated by 50% of VAM-1 (G. mosseae) T-3: Inoculated by 50% of VAM-2 (G. fasciclatum)
T-4: Inoculated by 50% of Azotobacter T-5: Inoculated by 50% of Azospirillum
T-6: Inoculated by NPK as per schedule
Replications : 04 per treatment
The saplings raised by inoculating the stem cuttings through nitrogenous and phos-
phatic biofertilizers in 2005 were transplanted at two locations viz., CSR&TI Pam-pore and DOS, Pahoo, Pulwama in a randomized block design during March, 2006.
During the year 2010, the data was recorded during spring and autumn seasons at
both the sites in terms of moisture and yield parameters are presented in Table-4 and Table-5. The data reveals that maximum leaf yield was obtained in T-4 at both
the sites and the differences between the treatments were highly significant. The moisture content was recorded more than 75% in spring and 70% in autumn at
both the sites and the difference between the treatments was non – significant in
this respect. Further it can be concluded that by using the inoculated saplings at nursery level by the biofertilizers can enhance the leaf yield from 4000 to 7000 kg
per hectare.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SOILS AND MULBERRY PLANTATION
UNDER TEMPERATE CONDITIONS
M.S. Rathore, Y. Srinivasulu and Rajinder Kour
Soil Science laboratory has been established at CSR&TI, Pampore under Central Sector Scheme and following equipments are present in laboratory.
Chart-1: Leaf yield/ha/year in experimental plants
The lab has started functioning and has taken up studies to study physical and chemical properties of soil. Through these studies we can predict seasonal changes
in soil nutrient status and the requirement of particular nutrient can be advocated in accordance to availability of nutrients in the soil. Beside these studies on effect of
various agronomical practices on soil nutrient status has also been carried out. As
per the result obtained, we can infer the depletion of nutrients depending on train-ing of the plants and accordingly pave way for advocating fertilizer recommenda-
tions for particular type of plantation. A study on biochemical analysis of mulberry plants has been carried out to investigate seasonal changes in biochemical parame-
ters of plants and to see the status of nutrients in plants with reference to various inputs given.
The studies were carried out at CSR&TI, Pampore. In this year soil samples were collected in autumn from main institute, REC Tral, REC, Bandipora, REC Y.K. Pora,
P4 BSF Manasbal and DOS farms. The soil samples were collected in random man-ner from a single plot; composite samples were prepared by quartering method.
Samples were properly labeled and were brought to laboratory. The dried samples
were sieved and were used in analysis of soil W.H.C pH, EC, available N, P and K content. For biochemical analysis the leaves from 10 selected accessions from
germplasm bank at CSR&TI, Pampore were taken and were shade dried. They were then crushed by pestle and mortar, the dry powder was used to analyze protein,
carbohydrate and nitrogen content. Chlorophyll content was directly recorded from leaves of 10 selected plants at GP Bank using CCI recording instrument (Courtsy:
MBG Lab). Data obtained was statistically analyzed. The results obtained from the
soil analysis are presented in table-8 and 9.

Chlorophyll content index for different mulberry varieties analyzed
The analysis of soil samples revealed that out of various samples analyzed the soil samples from REC Tral (farmer‟s field) showed higher W.H.C as compared to other
samples. The pH status of the soil showed that the soil at CSR&TI, Pampore is high-
ly alkaline and need urgent attention for the reclamation. So, a pilot study has been undertaken for reclamation of alkaline soil with FYM or Gypsum. Electrical conductiv-
ity of all the samples was optimum. Regarding the nutrient status of soil samples analyzed the soils from main institute and its associated units showed optimum le-
vels of available NPK. The soils samples collected from the DOS farms were showing lower levels of NPK. Biochemical analysis of 10 mulberry accessions showed that
Ichinose was rich in protein and nitrogen, Botatul was rich in carbohydrate where
as, Rokokuyaso showed higher chlorophyll index. The studies will be routinely car-ried out to monitor the soil health for optimum mulberry yield.
SILKWORM BREEDING AND GENETICS SECTION
Improvement of silkworm Bombyx mori L Sub. Project 1: Breeding of Bivoltine Silkworm breeds suitable for sub-optimal rearing management
Site-1: CSR&TI, Pampore Abad A. Siddiqui, Mir Nisar Ahmad and M.A.Khan
Ten breeding lines viz. SO4, SO10, SO12, SO14, SO15, SO16, SO17, SO20, SO29
and SO30 were reared in six cellular batches under sub-optimal conditions at F6 , F7 and F8 generations of breeding during spring, summer and autumn 2010 and indi-
vidual selection was imposed with main emphasis on pupation rate. Out of six
batches, in each line, during these filial generations only one batch was selected which excelled others in pupation rate and in the selected batch single cocoon as-
sessment was conducted to impose selection cocoon characters.
During spring (Table-10) pupation rate ranged from 87.5% (S30) to 96.3% (SO4), shell ratio ranged from 19.19 % (SO15) to 21.90 % (SO 16) and Absolute Silk Con-
tent (ASC)/10,000 larvae ranged from 2.72 kg (SO30) to 3.81 kg (SO14). At F7
generation in summer 2010 (Table-11) pupation rate was recorded between 80.6 % (SO20) and 93.55 % (SO4), shell ranged from 0.297 gm (SO30) to 0.383 gm (SO4)
and shell ratio ranged from 18.93 % (SO29) to 20.18 % (SO16). Absolute silk con-tent /10000 larvae was highest in SO4 (3.48 kg) followed by SO12 (3.43 kg). At F8
generation (Table-12) pupation rate was recorded from 82.5% to 91.0 % and shell ratio ranged from 18.04 % to 20.69 %.

The project was initiated in spring, 2008 with preparation of 20 breeding popula-
tions (F1) and, on the basis of pupation rate and survival, 10 lines were selected
after autumn, 2008. 5 Chinese type viz. Line 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 (Plain larvae and oval cocoon) and 5 Japanese type viz. Line 11, 13, 14, 17 and 20 (Marked larvae and
constricted cocoon) races were selected. These were continued to be evaluated un-der sub-optimal conditions during spring and autumn, 2010 also in F 4 and F 5 gen-
erations respectively. Performances of the lines on several important economic pa-rameters are under watch up to at least F 8 generation. The data for 2010 is pre-
sented in table-13 and 14.

Silkworm breeding experiment was initiated with the conduct of autumn rearing of
breeding resource material during September – October 2010. Identified parents were crossed and desired hybrids were prepared. Selected hybrids were reared
during autumn season 2010 to assess their rearing behavior and cocoon characters, besides their survival/pupation. The rearings were conducted at two locations with
different objectives. RSRS, Miransahib has been selected to identify breeding re-
source material for stable silkworm cocoon crops during spring season, while RSRS, Sahaspur has mandate to evolve silkworm hybrid with higher pupation rate for au-
tumn rearing conditions. Rearing results of five breeding populations reared during autumn 2010 is depicted in table-19.

This project was initiated in spring, 2010 with two main objectives. To evolve pro-ductive silkworm hybrids with superior cocoon characters for spring season and
identification and strengthening of single or multiple traits in silkworm genetic re-source material to evolve silkworm hybrids with higher pupation rate suitable for
autumn rearing conditions. Selection of seven races as parents‟ viz. SH 2, YS 5, JD
6, NN6D, RB 8, ADG 6 and Su was done in spring, 2010 for hybridization pro-gramme. It was envisaged to make 42 hybrids, out of which 37 could be made (ta-
ble-20) and tested in autumn, 2010. YS 7 was included in autumn, 2010 and 25 F1s were made again in autumn, 2010 for their testing in spring, 2011 (table-21) which
is under progress. From 37 F 1s reared in autumn, 7 F2s were finalized for their testing in spring, 2011 (table-22) which is also under progress.

Pilot Studt: Identification of double hybrids for temperate area
Abad A.Siddiqui, Mir Nisar Ahmad, D.Guruswamy and M.A. Khan
Ten new Double hybrids viz., DH1, DH2, DH3, DH4, DH5, DH6, DH7, DH8, DH9
were tested along with control in autumn 2010 and all the hybrids excelled over the control in most of the metric traits. The highest cocoon yield/10000 larave (20.56
kg) was recorded in DH5 followed by 19.00 kg in DH1 while in control the yield was only 16.43 kg. Pupation rate was recorded between 88.3% and 94.5% while in con-
trol pupation rate was 90.3%. All the new double hybrids recorded the shell ratio
above control hybrid and it ranged from 19.43% to21.72% (Table-25). Table-25: Rearing data of nine double hybrids during autumn 2010.

ENTOMOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY SECTION
Forecasting and forewarning system for pests and diseases of mulberry
and silkworm in north India.
Chief Coordinator : M. A. Khan
Irfan Illahi, Vishal Mittal and G.K. Ramegowda
Under Central Sector Scheme, research project on “Forecasting and forewarning of silkworm and mulberry pests and diseases” has been launched in North India under
CSR andTI, Pampore. The objective of the project is to record prevalence, severity and distribution of various mulberry and silkworm pests and diseases at different
isolated agro climatic regions and also to correlate their incidence with environmen-
tal conditions to develop a model for forecasting of pests and diseases incidence, well in advance. To check the infestation/infection, the said model will immensely
help the sericultural farmers in tackling with destruction of mulberry and silkworm crops by pests and diseases. The research project covers North Indian states under
CSR & TI, Pampore, RSRS, Jammu and RSRS, Sahaspur. A total of twelve test sites have been identified and each test site is being monitored by a Scientist working as
co-investigator in the project (Table-26).

1. Survey was conducted in all the twelve (12) test sites of North India on in-sect pest and diseases of mulberry and silkworm.
2. Three automatic weather stations have been installed at Pampore, RSRS, Jammu and RSRS, Sahaspur.
3. Correlation and Multiple regression modules for leaf spot and powdery mil-
dew with weather factors have been worked out for five test locations. 4. Correlations and Multiple regression modules for Glyphodes pyloalis and
Hemerophila atrilineata with weather factors have been worked out for Pampore location.
Mulberry Pathology: Leaf spot disease of mulberry was prevalent from June to
September at Pampore, while, the powdery mildew noticed in the August second
fortnight which increased steeply. Severity of both diseases was significantly higher on Tr-10 mulberry variety than on Goshoerami. The leaf spot in four test sites under
RSRS, Jammu showed a bimodal prevalence with two peaks, one during June and other during November. Pruning during June and leaf fall during November brought
down the leaf spot incidence and severity on mulberry. Powdery mildew was preva-
lent for relatively prolonged a period at Miransahib followed by Tikri and Barnoti. At Nowshera it was recorded during October only. Both leaf spot and powdery mildew
were at lower level in Barnoti and Nowshera while they were at higher level in Tikri and Miransahib.

Mulberry Entomology:
The mulberry insect pests were recorded only at Pam-
pore (G. pyloalis and H. atrili-neata) and mealy bug
sahib). In other locations the
activity was not detected. At Pampore, G. pyloalis was ac-
tive from July to September with relatively higher presence
on Goshoerami, while, the
Leaf spot at RSRS, Jammu Leaf spot at RSRS, Jammu
severity of H. atrilineata was very low and negligible.
Glyphodes pyloalis at Pampore
The mealy bug at Miransahib was considerable and PDI ranged from 14.38 to 18.77
during May and June month which was curtailed by pruning during July.
Correlation analysis for the disease and pest incidence and weather factors of the same, one and two preceding fortnights showed both positive and negative relation-
ships which varied from location to location. Even though multiple regression mod-ules with higher R2 were obtained it is too early to relay upon these modules. The
regression analysis showed a positive hint for the efforts being pumped in for the
forecasting and forewarning of mulberry insect pests and diseases.
Silkworm Pathology
Spring 2010 Kashmir Summer 2010 Kashmir
Silkworm diseases: Survey during spring rearing at farmers level revealed that
nuclear polyhedrosis prevailed almost all the test sites and during spring and sum-mer seasons in higher percentage. It was followed by Flacherie and white Muscar-
dine. During spring season polyhedrosis disease was recorded 8.76, 6.63 and 3.65%
at site1, 2 and 3 respectively while as bacterial Flacherie was recorded 7.88, 4.36 and 9.32 in same sites. The least prevalence of silkworm disease recorded was
white Muscardine ranging from 1.43 to 3.50 percent.
Prevalence and damage of mites to mulberry and their effect on leaf qual-ity in Kashmir: Preliminary studies on prevalence and damage of mites to mulber-
ry and effect on leaf quality in Kashmir have been initiated. Studies revealed two species each of phytophagous and predatory mites viz., Tetranychus sp., Panony-chus sp., Agistemus sp. and Euseius sp. KNG variety of mulberry recorded relatively
higher mite population than other varieties. Mulberry mite population was relatively more on the leaves in the middle of a branch. Dwarf and bush plantations recorded
similar mite populations relatively more than the tree plantations. The mite popula-tion as well as damage were more during August and were least during June and
October. Mite infestation significantly reduced the leaf carbohydrate and protein contents besides chlorophyll index. Feeding the silkworm larvae with mite infested
leaves adversely affected the economic traits of silkworm and cocoons.
Screening of mulberry germplasm for biotic stresses: A preliminary study
has been made to screen fifty-seven mulberry genotypes, comprising of five Morus spp. viz., M. alba, M. bombycis, M. indica, M. koyayami and M. multicaulis originated
in Kashmir (9), India (excluding Kashmir) (24), Japan (17), Italy (3), Burma (1), China (1) and USSR (1) to naturally incident leaf spot disease during unseasonal
period of late spring 2010. Two genotypes of Kashmir origin (Nadiagm and Brentul Kashmir) and one Indian origin (Punjab local) of M. indica and four of Japanese ori-
gin (Ichechei and Togowase of M. alba and Rokokuyaso and Goshoerami of M. mul-ticaulis) offered highest resistance to off season disease by registering percent dis-eases indices less than five. A significant and positive correlation with number of
rainy days and minimum temperature is observed with disease incidence
Validation of IPDM module for mulberry in Kashmir:
Vishal Mittal, Irfan Illahi and G.K. Ramegoweda
Two locations viz. CSR & TI, Pampore and P4, Manasbal with 0.75 ac plot in each location (0.25 ac each for Goshoerami, KNG and Ichinose) have been identified for
the said module.

The following work has initiated by RSRS, Jammu in 2010.
In order to develop women friendly technologies, to enhance their income by train-
ing them on new rearing technologies, soil improvement and mulberry cultivation aspects, 60 women were identified after a survey of their socio economic conditions
in Jammu region. They were found to belong to BPL families. Among the identified women, 60% were illiterate, 10% have elementary education, 25% are middle pass
and 5% have passed high school. An analysis of the age groups of these women
revealed that majority of them (56%) are below 40 years, 33% are above 55 years of age and 11% are between 40 and 55 years of age.
The identified women were trained peripatetically in Barnoti area of Kathua district and in Tikri area of Udhampur District during autumn season. In the spring season
2011, 20 women were trained in the Nowshera area of Rajouri district during the rearing period at their door steps. The chawki reared worms were supplied by the
respective Research Extension Centre operating in these districts, and the Technical
staff daily attended each woman during the period of rearing to impart appropriate training. During the training improved rearing technologies such as new silkworm
hybrids, rearing in ventilated brick house, use of plastic rearing trays, disinfection by bleaching powder, use of rearing stands, use of slaked lime during moulting, use of
bed disinfectants, value of appropriate spacing, desired leaf quality and quantity as per the age of silkworm, plastic mountages, and collection of Seri waste for vermi-
composting were demonstrated. Efforts were also made to arrange green cocoon
marketing immediately after harvest. Some of the women of Tikri area earned upto Rs. 7312/- after feeding silkworms within a period of three weeks (Table-31).
These Women were also trained for cultivating mulberry in sloppy land during the winter and monsoon season, as per the prevailing topography of the Jammu region.
Saplings of the improved mulberry variety S1635 were made available to them to
increase the leaf availability in their vicinity.

MORICULTURE SECTION Soil assessment studies of mulberry farms/fields in Jammu province
B. K. Singhal, B. B. Bindroo (upto 25.03.2011) and M. A. Khan
The project was framed under central sector scheme. Under the project soil testing laboratory has been established with essential infrastructure. The instruments, Ni-
trogen analyser and spectrophotometer have been installed. The soil survey of Now-
shera, Tikri, Barnoti, Sujanpur and Miran Sahib, Jammu farm have been made. About 105 soil samples have been analysed for nitrogen content. 30 soil samples
from Mand III, Chenab Tikri, CRC Patta, Mand I, Patta, Mand Farm, Dhanu, Vikan-gala, Gole and Dohari of CDC Tikri area have been analysed for Nitrogen content.
Out of these, 14 soil samples were found with nitrogen content less than 0.10%, while 0.13 % nitrogen content was estimated in 13 soil samples. The nitrogen con-
tent ranged between 0.11 to 0.12 % in 3 soil samples. Likewise, soil samples from
CDC areas Badlune, Kampala, Lam, Laroka and CDC Nowshera Chawki garden were analysed for nitrogen content. 13 soil samples revealed nitrogen content less than
0.08 %, while above 0.11 % nitrogen content was estimated in 5 soil samples. The nitrogen content of 5 soil samples varied between 0.09 to 0.10 %. Out of 10 soil
samples analysed, 6 soil samples revealed nitrogen content of 0.08 %. However,
above 0.10 % nitrogen content was estimated in 3 soil samples. Analysis will be made for more parameters after obtaining other necessary equipments.

Characterization of strains.
This externally funded project by Uttarakhand Council of Science and
Technology Department was initiated in April 2007. The infrastructure and other facilities like culture room etc. were developed by March, 2009 after following the
official procedure. Three strains of nitrogen fixing bacteria have been isolated and purified from the soils of mulberry garden. Out of these strains, one fast growing
efficient strain which can multiply at wide range of temperature has been identified
as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Gene bank Acc.No. DQ 777866). The same is under preservation and will be utilized for preparation of region specific nitrofert
biofertilizer.

Observations recorded on mulberry growth and leaf yield during spring crop, 2011
revealed that No. of leaves/branch, wt. of 100 leaves and leaf yield/tree increased
by 23% (22.73), 10% (245.36 gm) and 22% (3.23 Kg) in mulberry trees under in-tercropping with Asparagus as compared to 18.50, 245.36 gm and 2.65 Kg respec-
tively in mulberry sole at Panchkula. On the contrary, Plumbago increased number of of leaves/branch by 5%, weight of 100 leaves by 2.5% and leaf yield/tree by 8%
in mulberry as compared to mulberry sole.
Data recorded on growth of medicinal plants revealed that average height of plants
was found to be 51.86, 88.67 and 152.33 cm, No. of branches was 1.0, 6.0 and 6.63, No. of leaves was found to be 12.9 and 53.16, length of branches was found
to be 51.86, 76.00 and 87.17 cm and LXB was found to be 81.46, 38.69 in Rauvol-fia, Plumbago and Asparagus respectively during Spring Crop, 2010. Inter cropping
of medicinal plants viz. Chitrak, Satavar and Sarpagandha may be practiced along
with mulberry for enhancement of income of farmers and silk farms without affect-ing sericulture.

Extraction of seed of Melia azedarach was done in earlier methanol, petroleum ether
and acetone. All the three extracts were tested on D. maculatus for Biopesticide re-pellency and killing efficacy test in first quarter of the year. No significant results
were found.
As per suggestion of RAC in June, 2010, Artemisia nilagirica, Cymbopogan
flexuous and Melia azedarach were taken a fresh. Water, alcohol and water
plus alcohol solvents were used for extraction of Melia azedarach and Arte-
misia nilagirica. Their three separate extracts were under trial in water as
solvent. Cymbopogan flexuous oil (received from Centre for Aromatic Plants,
Selaqui, Dehra Dun) in ethanol as solvent was under trial during the period
under report for bio-pesticide repellency and killing efficacy test.

(SL), C. Nichi, CP1B, NN6D, NS 6, SY 6, JJ 5, P 5, KPGB, RB 8, AS.HAI, ADG 6 and
Su.
As prescribed, rearing of GPB was done mainly in spring season. In autumn season rearing was done for those races which had some or other problem in 10 month
long preservation schedule, high non hibernating eggs, un-seasonal hatching etc. These 5 races viz. SM 3, PY 1, C-Nichi, HS 6 (SL), CC 1, along with 8 races for vari-
ous breeding experiments viz. YS 5, YS 7, RB 8, NN6D, JD 6, ADG 6 and Su were
reared in autumn, 2010. Rearing performance of Silkworm Germplasm in spring, 2010 and autumn, 2010 are tabulated in tables 44 and 45 respectively.

Pankaj Tewary, P.M. Tripathi, B.B.S. Negi, N.K. Bhatia, M.M. Bhat (up to January,
2011) and P.K. Singh (from February, 2011)
Maintenance of active silkworm germplasm in spring and autumn seasons is man-
dated due to demand of its various races for different programmes. Rearing of 16 breeds (under Parental lines (10) : Dun 17, Dun 18, Dun 6, Dun 21, SL 3, SL 6, ATR
16, ATR 29, SH 6 and NB4D2 and Breeders‟ Stock (6) : Dun 12, Dun 19, Dun 22, SL
7, SL 9, SL 11) was done during the year (Table-46 and 47). Dun 6, Dun 21, Dun 22, ATR 16, ATR 29, SH 6 and NB4D2 remained as active germplasm during the
year.

DOT: Revalidation of technologies developed by CSB institutes
P.M. Tripathi, Pankaj Tewary, N.K. Bhatia, M.M. Bhat (up to Jan. 2011),
P.K. Singh (from Feb. 2011)
Machines and tools viz. Chawki leaf chopping machine, Heater cum humidifier, Co-coon deflossing machine, Flame gun, Battery operated duster, Rotary mountages
and Circumferential heater cum humidifier, developed by different CSB institutes and procured and demonstrated to DOS, lead farmers, NGOs and rearers during
training programmes and interaction sessions held in spring and autumn crops for
revalidation of technologies with them. It was assessed that adoption of machines and tools has helped to reduce the requirement of man power and time for various
sericulture operations.
Rejuvenation of SH 6
B.B.S. Negi, Pankaj Tewary, N.K. Bhatia, M.M. Bhat (up to January, 2011) and
P.K. Singh (from February, 2011)
SH 6 was procured from three distinct regions viz. CSR&TI, Pampore, Kashmir; CSGRC, Hosur, TN; RSRS, Miransahib, Jammu in spring, 2008 and reared with our
own stock. Parents‟ rearing was done and single crosses were also made after selec-tion at larval stage and cocoon shape in each batch. Pupation rate and shell ratio
percentage were the prime selection criteria among economic traits apart from lar-
val marking and cocoon shape and size as per pedigree maintained. Performance of all these batches were continuously scanned and continuous improvement has been
brought in various batches through selection pressure at larval and cocoon stage. A separate batch was formed in autumn, 2008 by selecting appropriate worms on lar-
val marking, later their cocoons were thinned out for character of slight elongation. This batch (GPB mix) was furthered carefully over the years with original ones and
continued up to spring, 2010 (table-48) and rechristened as SH 6 ( R ) i.e. rejuve-
nated in autumn, 2010 (table-49). Small gene pool of rejuvenated SH 6 is to be fur-thered in coming generations however; it would also be released in seed channel for
P 3 maintenance.

Problem of Trimoulters in SH 6 x NB4D2
Pankaj Tewary, B.B.S. Negi, N.K. Bhatia, M.M. Bhat (up to Jan. 2011) and
P.K. Singh (from February, 2011)
Problem of trimoulters in SH 6 x NB4D2, especially in autumn crop was raised by
NSSO, Dehradun. A study was initiated by this station in spring, 2008. It continued in spring and autumn seasons over the years with envisaged treatments as per de-
signed layout (Table-50). Forty DFLs from each of our own and SSPC, Premnagar, Dehradun sources were brushed in mass of five for 8 treatments. Incubation, chaw-
ki and late age rearing was done as per layout.
From autumn, 2008 to autumn, 2010, no trimoulters were noticed in any treat-
ments. SH 6 seem to be the reason behind expression of trimoulters in SH 6 x NB4D2. Study on rejuvenation of SH 6 is already in progress to tackle the problem
and this rejuvenated SH 6 was used to prepare seed in RSRS. However, seed from SSPC also did not express trimoulters during experiment. Treatments on high nu-
trient content in soil and mulberry leaf with higher moisture percentage were also
studied in spring and autumn, 2010 but these too, did not yield any trimoulters even in spring, 2011. Management in rearing atmosphere appears to be the major factors
behind trimoulters. Table-50: Layout of treatments for trimoulters’ study

Problem of Unfertilized Eggs in Reciprocal of Dun 6 x Dun 22
Harish Chandra, Pankaj Tewary, B.B.S. Negi, N.K. Bhatia, M.M. Bhat (up to January, 2011) and P.K. Singh (from February, 2011)
The study was started from autumn season, 2008 onwards and continued up to March, 2011 with an objective to find out the reasons of infertility and factors in-
volved in it and approach for productivity and quality improvement
During rearing two factors were taken viz. feed (Good and coarse mulberry leaves)
and climatic conditions (Temp.0C and RH %). During grainage, frequency of mating of males and mating period were taken into consideration. Accordingly the larvae
were fed with good and coarse mulberry leave and reared under normal and pre-scribed conditions.
The data on unfertilized eggs was assessed which revealed that there was non-
significant variation in egg fertility and hatchability. The moth fed with good quality
of mulberry leaves in larval stage produced lesser number of unfertilized eggs in compared to coarse leaves fed lots. The moth emerged in the lots which were kept
at prescribed temperature (0C) and RH % and in unattended conditions the differ-ence observed in number of unfertilized eggs was non-significant.
The eggs laid by female moth which were mated with male for third time showed more number of unfertilized eggs followed by mated for second time and first time.
This was more in autumn season rearing so seasonal affect cannot be ruled out. The infertility was recorded more in case of Dun 22 (self crosses) in autumn, and in
reciprocal of Dun 6 X Dun 22, though not remarkable (Table-51 and 52).

Rejuvenation of Races in GPB
N.K. Bhatia, Pankaj Tewary, B.B.S. Negi, M.M. Bhat (up to January, 2011) and P. K. Singh (from February, 2011)
For rejuvenation of traditional and evolved lines, races brought from CSR&TI, Pam-
pore in spring, 2008 were continued to be reared in spring and autumn seasons in
2010. Crosses of 5 races out of 6 were made in 2009 with their Sahaspur counter-parts. JP1A (M) was not crossed because its counterpart JP1B has shown consisten-
cy in our stock. Spring, 2010 data on 6 races is tabulated in Table-53. Crosses of Pam 101, Pam, 111 and JP1A (P) made in spring, 2010 is tabulated in table-54. For
autumn, 2010 performance of lines is provided in table-55. Crosses were not made in autumn, 2010 and selection pressure was applied in larval and cocoon characte-
ristics. Data shows that these races are behaving now as per pedigree.
In second phase of rejuvenation, 6 races viz. C 108, J 112, J 122, NB 7, NB4D2 and
CC 1 brought from CSR&TI, Pampore in spring, 2011 and rearing is under progress.

the North Western India for transfer of technology and farmer education. The states covered are Jammu and Kashmir (06), Uttar Pradesh (04), Uttarakhand (03),
Himachal Pradesh (02), Punjab (01), Haryana (01) and Rajasthan (01). Ten Exten-sion units are functioning as RECs, Two as Sub-Research Extension Centres, Five as
Cluster Development Centres and one as CDC for SSGSY. The RECs are located at Y
K Pora and Barnoti in J&K; Sujanpur in Punjab; Gorakhpur, Bhadrasi, Gonda and Chutmalpur in U.P; Fatehnagar in Rajasthan and Una and Duttnagar in H.P. The
Sub-RECs are located at Bageshwar in Uttarakhand and Panchkula in Haryana. The CDCs are functioning at Tral, Nowshera, Bandipora and Tikri in J&K and Kalsi/Vikas
Nagar in Uttarakhand; while the SSGSY is functioning at Udham Singh Nagar in Ut-
tarakhand. Three of these fall under Temperate region of Kashmir while the rest are under Sub-Tropical Climatic conditions including Jammu region of J&K. The
spring rearing is conducted during March-April in Sub-Tropical regions and in May-June in Temperate regions (Kashmir). In addition autumn rearing is conducted in
Sub-Tropical regions while summer rearing has been introduced in temperate re-gions under the Institute. Besides, under multi-cropping in the sub-tropical regions,
rearing of multi x bi has been introduced from this year, which has yielded good
results. Out of Eighteen extension units, three are functioning under direct control
of the Institute in Temperate region (Kashmir Division), four are under RSRS, Jam-mu and rest of the Eleven are functional under RSRS, Sahaspur.
During the year under report (2010-11), a total of 41,700 DFLs were reared under
13 extension centres (including S-REC, Tral) covering 687 rearers during spring,
2010 including 1300 DFLs of Multi x Bi. The total yield recorded was 15428.860 kg (including 614.100 kg of Multi x Bi) at an average of 37.00 kg/100 DFLs. During
summer, 2010 total of 2350 DFLs (800 DFLs of Multi x Bi) were distributed among 39 rearers under three centres recording total yield of 567.650 kg (241.600 kg of
Multi x Bi) at an average yield of 24.16 kg/100 DFLs. During Autumn 20300 DFLs (4800 of Multi x Bi) were distributed among 363 rearers recording total yield of
6537.35 kg (1665.500 kg of Multi x Bi) at an average yield of 32.21 kg/100 DFLs.
During Monsoon, 2010 total of 9304 DFLs (6200 of Multi x Bi) were distributed among 142 rearers under four centres recording total yield of 3203.600 kg
(2139.600 kg of Multi x Bi) at an average yield of 23.90 kg/100 DFLs (sum-mer/autumn combined).
Under 5 CDCs a total of 51125 DFLs were reared by 636 rearers recording total yield of 18759.000 kg during Spring, 2010 at average yield of 36.69 kg/100 DFLs and
16420 DFLs were reared by 310 rearers recording total yield of 3923.750 kg during summer/autumn, 2010 at average yield of 36.69 kg/100 DFLs
Under SSGSY (U.S.Nagar), 7500 DFLs were reared by 174 farmers during spring crop, 2010 which produced 2154.00 kg of cocoons at an average yield of 28.72
kg/100 DFLs and during Autumn crop, 11850 DFLs were reared by 270 farmers
which produced 3143.80 kg of cocoons at an average of 26.52 kg/100 DFLs. Both the crops were brought under insurance cover including rearers and DFLs.
The land based Extension Centres also maintained the farm and carried out farm
activities and demonstrations of technologies for mulberry cultivation.
During the year 152 Group Discussions, 37 Field/Farmers Days, 43 Film Shows, 12
Awareness Programmes, 15 Vichar Goshtis were conducted covering a total of 1200 rearers during the year. In addition one Sericulture Exhibition was held at Barwal,
Kathua and 3 Resham Krishi Melas were held at Udham Singh Nagar.
Based on the research findings of the Institute, eight technologies have been devel-
oped and put under transfer of technology through most of the RECs/S-units. The technologies developed and demonstrated include:
1. Mulberry tree cultivation technology for North India
2. Leaf harvesting and pruning technology for mulberry trees grown under sub-tropical conditions of North India
3. Introduction of new silkworm hybrid - CS6 x Pam101
4. Introduction of new silkworm hybrid – Dun6 x Dun21
5. Introduction of new silkworm hybrid – RSJ3 x RSJ1

Maintenance of Mulberry farm: 20 acres farm area was maintained with
respect to activities of revitalization after uprooting of Subabul bushes fol-lowed by deep ploughing. During monsoon 2010 in 8 blocks of Farm, road-
side plantation (500 plants) of S1 and S13 variety was done at the spacing of
10 feet to develop medium tree plantation on Farm-roads was raised as new plantation. New mulberry bush plantation was laid during winter 2010, 01
acres plantation of S146 and S1635 variety by adopting JICA system at the spacing of 9+(3 x 3 has been raised for developing “Nucleus-Seed–Cuttings-
Garden” for future propagation. A chawki plot of 0.25 acre (3x2 feet) having 4 high yielding varieties (K2, S13, S34 and V1) was maintained to support
chawki rearing for farmers rearing. Under Mulberry garden (plots) mainten-
ance, a total of 3.5 acre old mulberry plantation of 4 high yielding varieties (S-146, S-13, S-34 and V-1) was maintained under irrigated (5‟ x 5‟) and semi-
irrigated (8‟ x 8‟) conditions due to paucity of water. 4 acre land has been brought under conditions to cultivate castor under ericulture experimental ac-
tivity. In September 2010 a popular and prevalent hybrid castor variety (GCH-
7) was sown in 4 acres ( 1 acre at 4‟ x 3‟ spacing under irrigated condition and 3 acre by broadcasting method under rain fed condition) in order to get
foliage for Feb-Mar rearing. Thus, 75 DFLs of Eri-silk-worm eco-races were reared (in spring 2011 which yielded green cocoon with 21.3 kg/100 DFLs.
Widely used variety (G-2) of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was sown during
monsoon 2010in 01 Acre plot of 3 years old mulberry plantation ( 8‟x8‟) with land utilization ratio of 9 : 1 ( Sesame : mulberry ). A total of 106 kg. sesame
(Til ) was harvested as inter-crop which fetched revenue of Rs. 5300/- with the sale @ Rs 50/kg. Departmental Nursery cuttings): During winter-10, a
total of 35000 cuttings of V1 (5000), S13 (5000) S1 (5000) and S146 (20000)
were planted at REC Farm Fateh nagar for their use at Farm plantation and for further propagation at field level.
Silkworm Rearing: During Spring 2010 the farmers do not prefer to take
spring crop due to adverse climatic condition in the area. 200 DFLs of Dun6 x
Dun22 were brushed on three different dates. Out of these 3 batches 50 DFLs were reared by 3 farmers where as 150 DFLs were reared at REC farm. Dur-
ing Monsoon 2010, a total of 406 DFLs of PM x CSR2 were chawki reared and worms were distributed among 15 farmers of 6 villages. The cocoons were
harvested with an average yield of 42.88 kg /100 DFLs. 100 DFLs of PM x CSR2 was also reared at REC Farm which exhibited yield of 50 kg/100 DFLs.
100 DFLs of Dun6 x Dun22 was reared at REC Farm Fatehnagar. The cocoons
were harvested with an average yield of 15.20 kg/100 DFLs. During autumn 2010 Rearing of 100 DFLs of Dun6 x Dun22 (50 DFLs at REC Farm and 50
DFLs at farmers level) was conducted by the centre. The cocoons were har-vested with only 6 kg/100 DFLs due to climatic incompatibility in the area for
