- Abstract
The experiments were conducted during, Kharif and Rabi (2018 - 2020) to investigate the effect of various bio-formulations on the quality and productivity of mulberry leaves. Among all the treatments, the maximum values of quantitative attributes such as shoot length (145.93 cm), internodal length (5.33 cm), number of leaves per shoot (35.04), fresh leaf weight per plant (719.05 g), dry leaf weight (241.28 g) and shoot yield (11.57 MT/ha/harvest) were recorded in mulberry plants treated with EM @ 1 per cent in Kharif season. Besides, the biochemical constituents viz., total chlorophyll (2.80 mg g-1), carotenoids (0.824 mg g-1) crude protein (27.45 %), moisture (77.11 %), and moisture retention capacity (66.32 %) were notably higher in the EM treated mulberry leaves compared to control in Kharif season. The present study indicated that spraying EM @ 1 per cent on mulberry three times at 15 days interval during Kharif season helped improve the quality and yield of mulberry leaves compared to control.
