Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in a well established mulberry garden with V-1 mulberry to study the effect of nano micronutrients on mulberry for growth, yield and quality parameters at Sericulture unit, Department of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, UAS, Raichur, Karnataka during 2018-19. The experimental plot was laid in randomized block design with thirteen treatments with three replications. Nano micronutrients were supplemented through foliar spray and the results indicated that nano ZnO + nano Cu each @ 500 ppm resulted in significant superiority for growth, yield and quality parameters of mulberry followed by nano ZnO + nano Cu each @ 1000 ppm and nano ZnO @ 500 ppm. The nano size of micronutrients and its unique property of more surface area the nano micronutrients might penetrate more efficiently and effectively when applied through foliar compared to chemical spray of micronutrients to mulberry.
