Rearing Technology and Innovation Laboratory is one of the most important laboratory of Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute, Mysore. Primarily involved in developing the silkworm rearing technologies suitable for different breeds/hybrids, regions and season to optimize productivity. In addition to this laboratory is also involved in designing and innovating various tools, equipments and rearing houses to reduce the cost of production and improve crop yield.

• To improve rearing practices for maximization of cocoon yield.
• To develop rearing package for improved silkworm hybrids.
• To develop suitable technologies for silkworm eggs incubation, egg transportation, black boxing, low cost chawki rearing practices for commercial viability of chawki rearing centers.
• To develop rearing packages for different silkworm breeds , season and region.
• To fabricate and evaluate the low cost silkworm rearing tools for chawki and late age rearing, mounting, harvesting and transportation of cocoons.
• In house testing of silkworm breeds and technologies.
