Mulberry Crop Production Technology<\/h1>\n
\"silks\"<\/div>\n
Soil<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Clayey loam to loam soils are much preferred.<\/li>\n
  • Soil pH 6.5 to 7.0 is very ideal.<\/li>\n
  • If soil is acidic (below pH 7.0) lime is added.<\/li>\n
  • If soil is alkaline (above pH 7.0) gypsum is added. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Temperature<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • \n Preparation of nursery beds 20 to 30°C temperature is suitable for mulberry plant growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \"silks\"<\/div>\n
      Rainfall <\/h5>\n
        \n
      • Optimum rainfall required -1000 – 1500 mm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        Nursery raising<\/h5>\n
          \n

          Land Preparation<\/h5>\n
            \n
          • Select elevated, flat,well drained light textured, deep loamy or clay loamy soil.<\/li>\n
          • Give deep digging\/ploughing two times in both the directions. <\/li>\n
          • Give a fine tilt after 10-15 days of digging\/ploughing. <\/li>\n
          • Prepare the bed size of 300 x 120 cm (Length and width).<\/li>\n

            \"silks\"<\/div>\n
            Preparation of cutting <\/h5>\n
              \n
            • Use eight months old twigs as planting material. <\/li>\n

            • Store the cuttings wrapped with wet gunny cloth in shade. <\/li>\n
            • \n Sprinkle water if transplantation is extended\/postponed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              Planting Techniques<\/h5>\n
                \n
              • Provide 20 cm spacing between rows and 8 cm between cuttings. <\/li>\n
              • Make holes with a stock in the soil to insert cuttings. <\/li>\n
              • Plant the cutting in slant position. <\/li>\n
              • Press the soil firmly around the cuttings. <\/li>\n
              • Provide mulching with dried mulberry twigs, thatch etc. <\/li>\n
              • Irrigate the nursery once in a week during dry period. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                Maintenance of mulberry nursery<\/h5>\n
                  \n
                • Irrigate the nursery once in a week during dry period. <\/li>\n
                • Keep the nursery bed weed free. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                  \"silks\"<\/div>\n
                  Fertilizer application to nursery<\/h5>\n
                    \n
                  • After 55-60 days of growth, apply 500 g ammonium sulphate or 250 g urea dissolved in the irrigation water for each bed. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    Disease and pest management in the mulberry nursery<\/h5>\n
                      \n
                    • Spray 0.1% DDVP against Tukra. <\/li>\n

                      Transplanting<\/h5>\n
                        \n
                      • After three to four months, saplings become ready for transplanting. <\/li>\n
                      • Irrigate the nursery beds prior to transplanting.<\/li>\n
                      • Uproot the saplings with a spade or pick-axe. <\/li>\n
                      • Sprinkle water in case of preservation for shorter duration. <\/li>\n
                      • Pack the saplings in wet gunny cloth to avoid desiccation of roots if long distance transportation is required. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                        Plantation in the main field<\/h5>\n

                        Season :<\/strong> June – September (During monsoon).<\/p>\n

                        Land preparation<\/h5>\n
                          \n

                          • In this type of plantation 13,887 plants can be accommodated in one ha of land.<\/li>\n
                          • This system of spacing facilitates adoption of mechanization for intercultural operations using tractor\/power tiller.<\/li>\n
                          • Transplant the saplings during monsoon and press the soil firmly around the sapling. <\/li>\n
                          • Mulch the base of the sapling with dry leaves\/ thatch\/mulberry twigs. <\/li>\n
                          • Water the sapling immediately after transplanting. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            • From 2nd year onwards apply NPK @ 350:140:140\/ha\/year. <\/li>\n
                            • Five crops can be taken from V1 or S36 variety\/year. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              Name of the Technology :<\/strong>  “POSHAN” a multinutrient formulation to control the nutrientdeficiencies in mulberry.<\/p>\n

                              Year of Recommendation : <\/strong> 21.11. 2011 <\/p>\n

                              Salient features of the technology:<\/h5>\n
                                \n
                              • A multinutrient formulation of balanced nutrients along with growth promoters for correcting nutrient deficiencies in mulberry.<\/li>\n
                              • Provides nutrients for rapid utilization and faster recovery of deficiency than soil application.<\/li>\n
                              • Improves mulberry leaf quality (total proteins – 45.93 %; total sugars – 46.34 % & leaf moisture content – 20.98 %) and reduction in leaf yield loss up to 30.77 % in comparison to nutrient deficient control.<\/li>\n
                              • Improves the leaf quality and yield up to 15-20% even in good gardens.<\/li>\n
                              • The technology is farmer friendly as only one spray\/crop is recommended for improving the quality of leaf thereby reducing the cost of cultivation. <\/li>\n
                              • C: B ratio of Poshan application is 1: 7.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
