DESCRIPTION
This book is concerned with the significance, development and cost-benefit analysis of sericulture farming in India. Many farmers in India, especially in irrigated belt use to take cash crops, such as sugar cane, which creates many environmental and marketing problems. Now it has become very clear that there is limited scope for the traditional crop farming where there is unlimited supply of labour force in rural area. Therefore, one of the most urgent challenges before the planners is to halt and look at the alternative farming such as dairy, poultry and sericulture. This book tells the story of farmers, who have taken up sericulture farming in a sugar belt area of Maharashtra. The information included in this book covers the review of sericulture farming in India, the field survey and present scenario of sericulture farming. This book highlights the role of sericulture farming in non-traditional states of India.
