Title
Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px">This study investigates the impact of Chawki Rearing Centers (CRCs) on enhancing sericulture productivity for late-age farmers in Tamil Nadu. An opinion survey was conducted in 2017-2018 with 135 farmers from districts such as Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Salem. Using Garrett’s ranking technique; key benefits of CRCs were analyzed. The data showed that CRCs improved resource management, allowing farmers to rear up to 5-6 crops year<sup>-1</sup>, significantly reducing labor intensity by 32% and enhancing cocoon quality by 22%. Additionally, CRCs lowered rearing costs by 18% and helped stabilize yields with a 25% reduction in contamination risks. The production of healthy, uniform silkworms led to improved economic outcomes for the farmers. These findings highlight the role of CRCs in promoting sustainable sericulture and reducing both the physical and financial burdens on late-age farmers.</span></p>
