Abstract: The experiment was conducted to know the effect of different organic manures alone and in combination with biofertilizer (Azospirillum) on growth and yield parameters of mulberry (Var. China white). The experiment revealed significant differences with respect to treatments. Among these, application of Vermicompost @ 4kg/plant + Azospirillum (4.0g/plant) was recorded significantly higher growth parameters (plant girth, plant height, number of shoots per plant, shoot height, longest shoot, internodal length) and yield parameters (number of leaves per plant, fresh leaf yield, leaf area index, moisture content (%), moisture retention per cent after 6 hours). Further FYM@ 4kg/plant + Azospirillum (4.0g/plant) found next best with respect to economic traits of mulberry. The results of the present study showed superiority of application of Vermicompost @ 4kg/plant + Azospirillum (4.0g/plant) after pruning so as to produce good quality mulberry leaves which in turn may improve soil health.
