Mulberry Physiology & Mulberry Improvement.


  1. Studies on the factors influencing the nutrient uptake and its use efficiency in mulberry under field conditions PIN 3442
  2. Development of diagnostic kit for identification of nutrient deficiencies in mulberry and to assess the leaf quality. (Pilot study)

Technologies:

Leaf Colour Chart

Based on field survey and analysis of the soil and leaf samples of farmer’s garden from of three southern states (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu)  a colour chart was prepared for easy identification of degree of deficiency under different levels of nitrogen.  The leaf colour chart can be used at farmers garden for instant identification of existing status of Nitrogen.

POSHAN- A MULTINUTRIENT LIQUID FORMULATION

To correct the chlorotic deficiencies, a multinutrient liquid formulation named “POSHAN” has been developed for foliar application. POSHAN improves the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves in problematic soils with high pH and also results in faster recovery of deficiency symptoms, thereby improving the cocoon productivity.

 

  • Imparting training on various aspects of mulberry nutrient deficiency symptoms and their amelioration.
  • Guiding M.Sc. students for their dissertation work.
  • Guiding Ph. D. students.
  • Analyzing the leaf/ plant samples for identification of deficiencies and for determination of leaf nutrient status.
