Research and Development
The Research & Training Institutes of the CSB provide R&D and Training support for the development of Sericulture. The
Institutes at Mysore (Karnataka),Berhampore (West Bengal) and Pampore
(J&K) deal with Mulberry sericulture and the one at Ranchi (Bihar) deals with Tasar.The Institute established at Ladoigarh,Jorhat (Assam) deals with Muga and Eri.
Regional Sericultural Research Stations (RSRS/RTRS) for Mulberry and non-Mulberry have been functioning for
the dissemination of research findings and tackling the regional field issues of the industry. Besides, a network of Research
Extension Centres (REC) for Mulberry and non-Mulberry are also functioning to provide extension support to Sericulturists.
In order to provide R&D support in post-cocoon processing the Board has established a Central Silk Technological Research Institute (CSTRI) at Bangalore.
In addition, the CSB has also set up a
Silkworm Seed Technology Laboratory
85(SSTL) in Bangalore (Karnataka), a Central Sericultural Germplasm
Resources Centre (CSGRC) at Hosur,(Tamil Nadu) and a Seri-Biotech Research Laboratory (SBRL) at Bangalore. Research work on the on-farm side is directed at evolving stress tolerant Mulberry varieties, which give high leaf yield; breeding superior silkworm hybrids;
and evolving improved techniques of silkworm rearing with integrated control of pests and diseases of both Mulberry and
silkworms. During the period 222 research projects were undertaken for
implementation and are in various stages of progress – 176 in Mulberry, 42 in non-Mulberry and 4 in post cocoon technology.
During 2004-05 (upto Sept., 04), 8 new silkworm hybrids (which includes one double hybrid, two artificial diet hybrids and one sex limited hybrid ) and 8 Mulberry varieties evolved by CSB research
institutes & State institutes were under authorization trial at all the zones. Research work on Tasar, Muga and Eri silk is geared towards improvement of productivity potential of non-Mulberry silk
in India. Under non-Mulberry sector, several technology trials were conducted during 2004-05 at RTRS/RECs level.
On the post-cocoon sector, web silk reeling machine was developed to
produce bulky raw silk from inferior quality cocoons. Fabricated elliptical type denier detecting and mechanical indicating device to multi-end reeling machine to produce quality raw silk. The conveyor
cocoon cooking machine developed at CSTRI, which can be used to cook the cocoons effectively in large scale resulting in increased productivity as well as quality of raw silk.
Seed Maintenance
Under the National Silkworm Seed organization (NSSO), a network of Basic Seed Farms (BSF) produce and supply the basic seed for production of commercial silkworm seed in the seed production centres functioning under CSB and State Departments. 21 Silkworm Seed Production Centres (SSPCs) are functioning under NSSO in different States to support the industry. These commercial SSPCs have produced 208.59 lakh dfls during 2003-04 and 95.40 lakh during the year 2004-05 (Upto Sept.,2004). On the Tasar side, the CSB has established 22 Basic Seed Multiplication& Training Centres (BSM&TC) and one Central Tasar Silkworm Seed Station (CTSSS) for supply of tropical Tasar basic
seed & 1 Oak Tasar grainage and 3 RECcum-BSM&TCs for supply of Oak Tasar basic seed. Under Muga sector, 8 Basic Seed Farms and 1 Silkworm Seed Production Centre are functioning. For production and supply of Eri seed, CSB has established 1 Silkworm Seed
Production Centre. In 2004-05 (upto Sept.-2004), 17.67 lakh Tasar basic seed, 0.76 lakh Oak Tasar basic seed, 1.09 lakh Muga basic seed have been produced and supplied to State Departments for further multiplication. The Muga and Eri SSPCs have produced a quantity of 0.75 lakh and 0.02 lakh commercial seeds,respectively during the year 2004-05 (upto September 2004).
