Abstract

Dormancy and sprouting behaviour of six promising mulberry genotypes was studied under sub-tropical agroclimate. Genotype S146 (Morus alba) exhibited the shortest dormancy period of 44 days; whereas, the longest period of 72 days was recorded in Sujanpur (M. indica), the local popular variety of this region. The leaf shedding was first noticed in genotypes Chak Majra and Sujanpur, while delayed leaf fall was observed in genotype, Mandalay (M. indica). The genotypes S146 and Chak Majra was observed to sporout earlier than other genotype.
