Abstract
Field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of pruning practices for
maximization of mulberry leaf productivity under UAS Seri Suvama technology on
growth and yield of Ms mulberry variety and the silkworm B. mori L. in relation to
rearing performance in rainfed condition at Department of Sericulture, UAS, GKVK,
Bangalore during the year 2004-05. The results indicated that mulberry growth parameter
viz., number of branches and leaves, leaf yield, leaf moisture, chlorophyll a, b content,
total chlorophyll content, total soluble sugar and protein content NPK, Ca, Mg and S
content were influenced by the pruning practices. However, pruned crop shows 90 cm
height more / higher of all the above parameters which is followed by pruning at 60 cm,
30 cm bottom pruning, 90, 60 and 30 cm with normal shoots as compared to non-UAS
Seri Suvarna.
