Description NA
Lac, a bio-degradable natural resin is obtained from lac insect (Kerria lacca Kerr.). Quality
broodlac should be ensured for production of lac crop. Two experiments were conducted at Regional
Field Research Station, Purulia and Institute Research Farm, Ranchi during 2006 and 2008
respectively, to identify factors governing production of quality broodlac. Results indicated that
diameter (thickness) of 85% of lac sticks (of host) were within the range 0.5-0.8 cm in case of
kusum trees; lac sticks with diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 cm produced good quality broodlac. In another
experiment it was visualized through regression analysis that thickness of broodlac encrustation is
the most important factor governing settlement of lac insect, followed by phunki (empty broodlac)
scrap weight and weighted living cell weight.
