Tenth Biennial Conference on EntrepreneurshipSummary: Sericulture is labour oriented agro industry, with mounting labour problem it is difficult to manage mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing. Further, bivoltine seed crop rearing is a sensitive and labour oriented which needs utmost care at all stages of rearing. Sri. Manje Gowda is one of the progressive bivoltine rearer who is harvesting consistent cocoon yield for last ten years. Keeping labour problem as one of the major constrain, the rearer has adopted various innovative methods of which the first and the foremost is tractor ploughing technique where he has removed one row of mulberry plantation thus increasing the space between the rows to 8ft from 5ft. Further, he has increased the stem height to 4ft from 2 ft., so that the removal of weak branches and harvesting of shoots is convenient thus saving labour. The application of chemical fertilizers (NPK) is by dissolving fertilizers in the tank and providing to the plant through drip pipes. In order to maintain required humidity and temperature in the rearing house, he has designed the opening and closing of windows by connecting the shutters to a pulley through the rope. To maintain hygienic conditions during rearing, he...
