| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation on the Influence of autumn leaf harvest on growth parameters of established mulberry plantation and juvenile saplings of mulberry during pre and post-transplantation period was conducted at College of Temperate Sericulture, Shere Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Mirgund during the years 2013 to 2015. In the present study established mulberry plantation of Goshoerami variety of mulberry was chosen for first experiment. Five different treatments were imposed where mulberry leaf was plucked from the plants in increasing order viz., T1 (25%), T2 (50%), T3 (75%), T4 (100%), T5 (no harvest) and T6 (only lamina harvest) with the objective to ascertain the influence of different levels of leaf cut on succeeding mulberry crop to be used for spring rearing which happens to be the main cropping period in Kashmir valley. Significantly highest sprouting percentage viz 66.19% was recorded in T5 where no leaf harvest was done. Significantly highest value for frost damage was obtained in T4 recording a value of 2.58% which was followed by T3 with a value of 2.33%. Significantly highest number of shoot lets viz., 86, longest shootlet length viz., 44.07 cm, total shoot let length (3534.5 cm), leaf area viz 267.94 cm2, weight of 100 leaves viz., 353.33g and leaf yield/plant (5.00 kg) was also recorded in T5. However, leaf moisture content, moisture content after 6 hours and moisture retention capacity indicated non-significant differences. Significantly highest leaf nitrogen % age viz., 1.92 %, phosphorus content (0.09 %), sulphur content (0.22 %), was recorded in T5. Significantly highest potassium % age viz., 1.70 % was recorded in T6 along with calcium content to the extent of 2.08 %. Significantly highest zinc content viz., 65.22% and 63.57% was also recorded by treatments T5 and T1, the two being at par with each other. However least zinc content of 56.77% was recorded in T4 where 100 % leaf harvest was made. Copper content was also found to be highly significant in treatment T5 recording value of 33.25% followed by T6 and T1 each recording similar values of 31.40% of zinc. However, it was least in T3 with a value of 29.60%. Manganese content was recorded to be at par in treatments T5, T2 and T1 with a value of 91.57%, 89.92%, 89.42% respectively. Iron content was found to be significant in T5, T6, T1 and T2 with values of 193.92%, 190.05%, 192.07% and 190.30% respectively. The least iron content was in T3 recording value of 174.32%. Significantly highest carbohydrate content viz 85.22 g, protein content viz 25.30g was recorded in T5 which was however at par with T1 recording a value of 22.57g. Under polyhouse conditions significantly highest survival % age of saplings was recorded in T5 viz., 59.75 % which was at par with other treatments like T6, T1 and T2 (59.00%, 55.50% and 53.25%). However, the least survival %age was recorded in T4 viz 40.50. Post transplantation growth parameters of saplings indicated significantly highest values in sapling height viz., 20.11cm, fresh sapling weight viz., 11.56 g, dry sapling weight (2.35g), leaf area (136.90 cm2) and fresh leaf weight / sapling (6.20g) were recorded in T5. The saplings which were raised from the cuttings obtained from the plants whose leaf was subjected to different levels of plucking indicated significantly highest fresh root weight / sapling (2.39 g), dry root weight (0.35 g), longest root length (18.36 cm) in T5. Significantly highest number of leaves /sapling (26.58), leaf area (395.25 cm2), fresh leaf weight (65.91 g), dry leaf weight (39.100 g) and longest root length viz., 34.37 cm was also recorded in T5. | |
