A study on efficacy of SAR chemicals on biochemical constituents of mulberry leaves

Abstract

The present investigation revealed that biochemical changes in respect to crude proteins, total carbohydrates, total phenols, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, moisture and ash content also shows significant variation among all the treatments. Further, it is quite clear that crude proteins, total carbohydrates, chlorophyll (a and b), moisture etc., also showed significant increase in healthy leaves when tested with SAR chemicals, whereas total phenols increase with respect to disease intensity among various treatments.
