Evaluation of Promising Mulberry Hybrids for Leaf Yield under Natural Stress and Normal Environments in Mulberry

摘要

Sixty two promising hybrids were evaluated for leaf productivity potentiality under different environments for 3 years. The drought tolerant hybrid could give higher leaf yield under stress environment with minimum leaf yield reduction under normal environment. The drought susceptible hybrids exhibited low leaf productivity under stress environments, where as same hybrids high leaf productivity under normal environment. For the first time these observations were made in mulberry.
