Abstract

Fifteen varieties of mulberry (Morus sp.) were analysed for seven shoot yield component parameters for their relationship and contribution towards the production biomass in social forestry. Various statistical tests, viz., simple correlation co-efficient, multiple regression equation and path co-efficient were applied to correlate the shoot yield component parameters. Test analysis reflects a highly complex interaction among the component characters : Stem weight per plant and leaf weight per plant directly govern the shoot yield in most of the varieties, whereas the number of branches per plant, intermodal length and their different combinations have indirect effect on shoot yield.
