Vijetha is a new chemical introduced in the Sericulture Industry. Vijetha is a bed disinfectant which is applied on the silkworm rearing bed to kill pathogenic microbes responsible for Grasserie, Muscardine, Pebrine and other infectious diseases of silkworm. The chemical is applied after each moult after bed cleaning and before feeding the leaves. This chemical is economical, easy to use and has no adverse effect on silkworm health, human being and domestic animals.

The exact demand figures on Vijetha are not available as it is new introduction. Vijetha has a wider range of action against silkworm diseases and hence its demand is estimated at 700 tonnes per annum in the sericulture regions of our country. The cost of production is around Rs.14.00 per kg and the market price can be around Rs.22.00 per kg.

Vijetha is produced from indegenously available chemicals. The preparation consists of acid treating an inert material, drying it, powdering to 200 mesh size, mixing with other chemicals, sieving and immediately packing in air-tight polythene bags. The quality is maintained by using specified quality of chemicals and ensuring the right quantity of mix. The shelf-life of Vijetha is six months from date of manufacture.

During manufacture of Vijetha, dust and acid fumes are produced and hence requires proper equipment for collection and disposal of these.
