Influence of liquid organic manures on growth, yield and quality of mulberry leaves and rearing performance of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)

Abstract

Sericulture is a low input, income generating occupation and highly suited to rural and semi urban areas. India's traditional and culture-bound internal market, as well as an amazing divergence of silk garments that reflect geographic specificity, have aided the country to reach the top of the seri-enterprise world, producing all the five types of commercial silks, viz., Mulberry, Tropical Tasar, Oak Tasar, Eri and Muga. Liquid organic manures can encourage low-cost organic farming and enhance crop yields and soil quality. They can also increase bio-efficacy of plants and supply them with nutrients. Since the sericulture industry uses mulberry, it is essential to increase its growth, yield and leaf quality in order to obtain high-quality cocoons. This review study brought together some of the studies that have been conducted on the impact of liquid organic manures on the soil and other crops.
