B. Evaluation of improved mulberry genotypes as trees under different
locations
Number of locations: 02
i) P4, BSF, Manasbal
ii) REC, Y.K.Pora
Co-ordinator: M. A. Khan
Scientific & Technical staff associated
Rajinder Kour, S.M. Quadir, G.M.Darzi and B.A.Salroo
The experiment was laid put at three locations by transplanting the saplings of five
genotypes viz., Goshoerami, C-4, Tr-10, M. multicaulis and Chinese white in a Randomized
Block Design having four replications. During the year the plantation was
maintained following the advocated package of practices for temperate conditions.
The plants were trained as trees in the month of May 2009 and gap filling was done
in February, 2010. The survival was recorded at all the three locations. The survival
ranged from 80% to 100% at both the sites.
Other Works:
Besides, maintenance of 0.74 acres of experimental plantation, the section has
maintained 10.18 acres of general mulberry plantation by providing all cultural operations
and inputs as per advocated package of practices for temperate region.
Different sections of the institute harvested approximately 20,000 kg of leaf for their
rearings.
As a part of rejuvenation of mulberry farm saplings of Goshoerami and KNG were
transplanted in 0.22 acres of land.
