Abstract

Mulberry silkworm i.e. Bombyx mori Linn. nourishes its nutrition from its sole food plant i.e. Mulberry (Mours spp.) Bombyx mori Linn. is an insect of immense economic importance for sericulture industry, feeds on mulberry leaves during its larval period and spins silk cocoons. Keeping in view of the importance of silkworm, B. mori and its host plant mulberry the present study was carried out. The V1 mulberry plant was grown in four different organic manures viz., Poultry manure, Vermi-compost, Compost and Cow dung to assess the leaf biochemical evaluation. Leaf biochemical analysis was carried out for leaf Moisture content, Carbohydrates and Proteins. The present study reveals that the poultry manure applied mulberry plants exhibited significant difference for all the parameters studied. The nutritive qualities of the leaves of poultry manure applied V1 plant were found superior than that of other organic manure.
