Author(s): R Ramamoorthy, N Krishnakumar and M Paramanantham
Abstract: Mulberry (Morus spp.) is an important plant in sericulture industry as foliage constitutes the essential feed for mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.). Investigation was carried out to evaluate the best mulberry variety (V1, MR2, G4, S36) from the locally available and based on the biochemical parameters in terms of leaf moisture, carbohydrates, lipids, protein, crude fibre and ash content. The nutritional status of different mulberry varieties is ascertained by its biochemical constituents. The results indicated that V1 and G4 mulberry varieties have recorded highest biochemical constituents and suitable for silkworm rearing to getting maximum cocoon related parameters.
