A Modern Approach To Conventional Silk Farming

Abstract

India is an agro-based economy, agriculture is the backbone of India economy. The biggest challenged faced by the farmers is to come out of their economic crisis they are facing, Sericulture is one of the best ways to earn a good income, it provides self-employment and also better returns on investment. There are many developments that can be done to the existing silkworm rearing techniques. This paper provides better solutions and developments to the existing systems by using various electrical components. It helps automate the facility by monitoring temperature and humidity. Different stages of growth of cocoon requires different temperature and humidity values hence this can be done with the help of micro-controllers. This paper idea could be carried out both manually and automatically. This proposed system will help farmers economically so that they do not have to spend much time on sericulture and can focus on other agricultural activities but still earn a good income.
