Discriminate the Knowledge and Adoption Level of Bivoltine Technologies of Trained and Untrained Sericulture Farmers, Tamil Nadu, India

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Sericulture development is intimately related to applying science and technology in the sector. Thus, the extent to which farmers use improved technology directly influences the amount of cocoon production and the economic and social benefits. Training has been regarded as the most crucial factor for increasing cocoon production. Methods: The study was conducted with 300 trained and untrained farmers from the same district. Trained farmers (Batch-wise) underwent five days of training at Tamil Nadu Sericulture Training Institute; Hosur.The parameters were discriminated by trained and untrained farmers practicing bivoltine technologies. The bivoltine technologies have two parts: 1. Mulberry cultivation, and 2.Silkworm rearing. Result: The knowledge and adoption level of mulberry cultivation in R-value is highly associated with trained farmers at 0.85 and 0.98 untrained associated with 0.72 and 0.64 respectively. The knowledge and adoption level of silkworm technologies in R-value is highly associated with trained farmers at 0.98 and 0.67 untrained associated with 0.64 and 0.52 respectively. The knowledge and adoption levels of mulberry cultivation and silkworm technologies play a crucial role in cocoon productivity. The R-values presented reflect the strength and significance of the association between these variables and the trained vs. untrained farmers. The evidence strongly suggests that training is essential in enhancing the knowledge and adoption levels of mulberry cultivation and silkworm technologies.
