Livelihood generation is one of the major potentials of sericulture and silk industry. Sericulture has emerged asthe most important allied agricultural activity with minimum investment, low gestation period, high employment potentialhigh profits. Sericulture has provided downstream employment, income generation for low income and socially underprivileged groups in rural and semi-urban areas. Sericulture involves simple technologies which are easy to understand andto adopt. Sericulture being a cottage industry and a family affair, most of the sericulture activities are indoor. It providesample work opportunities for both women and men in rural areas along with agriculture and allied activities. Therefore, aresearch study was conducted to know the differences in adoption of sericulture production technologies among selecteddistricts viz. Bagalkot, Belagavi and Haveri of Northern Karnataka during the year 2018-2019 which are emerging as thepromising districts for cultivation of sericulture. Results revealed that majority of sericulture farming families belonged tohigh adoption category with respect to all dimensions of adoption such as silkworm rearing (91.67%), mulberry leafproduction (77.00 %) and mulberry nursery raising (70.67%). The significant difference was found among the selecteddistricts in adoption of sericulture production technologies. Mean values among three districts ranged from 25 to 32. Themean value of Bagalkot district was found to be highest (32.57) followed by Haveri (26.60) and Belagavi (25.85). The scoresindicated the Bagalkot families adopted more number of technologies compared to other two districts. This study showsthat adoption level of improved methods of sericulture technologies was low for crucial sericulture practices. It calls for theextension agency to educate the farmers, by way of home visits, field days, discussions, training and demonstrations aboutimproved methods of mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing, thereby enabling farmers to adopt new technologies toincrease mulberry leaf production, cocoon productivity with higher monetary return, Northern Karnataka.
