ARP-3630: Development of room and silkworm bed disinfectant through screening of potential chemicals |
Dr. K. Rahul, Sci-C |
June 2018 to May 2021 |
1. To screen several potential chemicals based on their efficacy of controlling microbial diseases. 2. To develop a broad spectrum room disinfectant for eradication of pathogens causing diseases in silkworm 3. To develop a silkworm bed disinfectant comprising of compatible disinfectant chemicals having synergistic action in controlling all microbial diseases of silkworm, specially grasserie (nuclear polyhedrosis). |
