ABSTRACT
Variability in respect of growth, yield and moisture content were studied among different mulberry genotypes. A wide range of variation was observed among the genotypes for yield and moisture content. Analysis of variance showed significant variation for all the characters. Leaf yield was recorded highest (4.751 kg/plant) in Goshoerami during spring season while as it was recorded (4.863 kg/plant) during autumn season. The correlation coefficient showed positive and significant association of leaf yield with number of shoots plant-1 (0.64), total shoot length (0.54), fresh weight of 100 leaves (0.70), moisture content (0.41), moisture retention capacity at 6 hours (0.47) and moisture retention capacity at 12 hours (0.48). Analysis of divergence grouped the genotypes into 3 clusters, cluster I contained 15 genotypes, cluster II and Cluster III contained 1 genotype each on pooled over spring. The genotypes were grouped in to 2 clusters, cluster I contained 16 genotypes and cluster II contained 1 genotype on pooled over autumn. The inter-cluster distance showed variation, among the genotypes which can be utilised for mulberry crop improvement. The Goshoerami and SKM-33 exhibit highest leaf yield and moisture retention capacity both after 6 hrs and 12hrs can be utilized in future breeding programme.
