Influence of liquid organic manures on growth and yield of V-1 mulberry (Morus alba)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of liquid organic manures on growth and yield parameters of V-1 mulberry planted at 90 + 150 × 60 cm spacing at department of sericulture during 2020-21. The results revealed that soil application of bio digested liquid organic manure equivalent to 150% N ha-1 (T9) increased the mulberry yield attributing parameters viz., plant height (138.48 cm), number of shoots per plant (25.00), number of leaves per plant (330.53), leaf area (165.20 cm2) and leaf yield (826.66 g/plant) compared to control. Non-significant difference was observed with respect to internodal length of mulberry and lower leaf dry matter content was also recorded in the mulberry plot applied with bio digested liquid organic manure equivalent to 150% N ha-1 (T9).
