Effect of NPK fertilizers on the growth and yield components of two high yielding mulberry (Morus alba l.) Varieties in irrigated conditions”
Keywords:
V1 and S1635 Mulberry Varieties, NPK fertilizers, GrowthAbstract
A field experiment was conducted on a newly established mulberry garden at Pakani, Solapur (M.S). The experiment was conducted during 2009- 2010 and 2010-2011. To investigate the effect of NPK (300:120:120 kg/ha/year) fertilizers on the different growth components like Leaf weight (3rd, 6th, Average 5 leaves), Average height of shoots per plant, Average number of shoots per plant and Average weight of shoots per plant of two high yielded V1 and S1635 mulberry varieties. Soil of the experimental plot is Block cotton and irrigation is supplied twice per month. The present investigation shows V1 mulberry variety performs better than S1635 besides all components.
