Cocoon silk, a high priced fabric, should be produced in large quantities to meet local and international demands using sustainable farming practices. To determine the effects of planting systems and agroecosystems manipulations on the mulberry growth, leaf yield, and quality for silk worm rearing, six agroecosystems manipulations using pit planting, organic manuring, inorganic fertilization, green and green leaf manuring were evaluated and the best alternative to increase production was selected. Pit planting method and fertilized with any of the following: (1) 100-5050 kg NPK/ha + 10 tons manure + green manure + mulch (LEISAI); (2) 5050-50 kg NPK/ha + 10 tons manures + green + green leaf manure + mulch (LEISA II); and (3) 10 tons manure + green manure + green leaf manure + mulch (Organic Farming I) gave higher mulberry leaf yields (taller mulberry plants, longer shoots, heavier single leaf weights), higher protein contents, and acceptable range of moisture (high moisture contents for young-age worms and low moisture contents for late-age silkworms). The use of sustainable and organic farming techniques can be a good alternative to conventional farming to improve the productivity of sericulture farms.

Selection of P1 seed farmers (ASRs) for different combination of P1 seed cocoon generation and supply to SSPC Vijayapura to produced large scale commercial double hybrid and SK hybrid ds. Sericulture is one of the most important rural industries practiced since several decades. It has certain inherent level to educate Sericulturists, still a wide gap exists between there commended technology and actual adoption by Sericulturists. To plan a suitable intervention strategy, to bridge this gap, it is necessary to understand the present knowledge and adoption level for improved technologies, so also existing mulberry leaf yield and quality seed cocoon generation. Therefore, present study was conducted to know the extent of adoption of improved practices at farmer's level in selected areas of ASR farmers Doddaballapura, Koratagere, Nelamangala and Siddlaghatta covering ve locations with purpose of good quality of seed cocoons generation and to produce quality ds. During the year 2018-19 signicant achievement of SSPC Vijayapura Production of Bivoltine F1 Silkworm Eggs on large scale as per the annual targets of 25 lakhs this centre could record a total production a quantity of 38,40,050 lakhs Bivoltine F1 ds was produced in different combination month wise and ds recovery Table-1&2.

A field experiment was conducted for two years (1994–96) to evaluate three nitrogen fixing bacteria (NFBs) namely Azotobacter, Azospirillum and Beijerinckia as foliar biofertilizers on mulberry (Morus spp.). Foliar application of these bacteria in their specific culture media with half of the recommended dose of N as a basal application of chemical fertilizer were compared with the recommended dose of N (300 kg/ha per year in four equal splits) but without biofertilizer. Other controls for comparison were respective culture media with half N. All the NFBs improved leaf yield over their respective controls (specific culture media). The addition of Azotobacter resulted in significantly greater yield than that given by the recommended dose of N. The Beijerinckia treatment resulted in a leaf yield equal to that from the recommended dose of N and Azospirillum reduced leaf yield in comparison to that from the recommended N treatment although the yield from Azospirillum treatment was more than that from the culture medium treatments. A combination of NFBs where Azotobacter was one of the components improved leaf yield over single NFB treatments. NFBs also resulted in improved leaf quality as indicated by their protein content and their impact on silkworm rearing and cocoon production when treated leaves were subjected to bioassay. The use of these NFBs, particularly the Azotobacter, as a foliar biofertilizer to increase mulberry leaf production has not been investigated before.

<p>Genetic divergence of five mulberry accessions including Embu, Thika, Thailand (<em>M. alba</em>), Kanva-2 and S41 (<em>M. indica</em>) grown in Kenya were examined using twelve phenotypic traits. The assessment of phenotypic traits was done in a field study in two localities, Nairobi and Eldoret. The traits that were significantly different across the mulberry accessions included lamina width and petiole length (P ? 0.01), petiole width and growth height (P ? 0.05), internodes distance and number of branches (P ? 0.001). The Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) results were used to generate a dendrogram derived from hierarchical cluster analysis that further partitioned the mulberry accessions into four groups. Embu and Thailand accessions grouped together while S41, Thika and Kanva-2 accessions grouped separately. Embu and Thailand accessions were characterized by fewer numbers of branches than the rest of the accessions. Thika accession had high number of branches and short internode distance. Significant and positive correlations were found between leaf yield traits except in internode distance and number of branches which were significant and negatively correlated. Significant and positive correlations can be utilized since they are rewarding for mulberry leaf yield improvement.</p>

Tobacco which still has a great economic importance in the world and Turkey provides extensive employment opportunities from growing to evaluation stage to a certain part of our people and is produced as a family enterprise for centuries in our various regions. The aim of the study was to determine in the effects of worm fertilizer on Aegean type tobacco yield and some quality parameters. The search was carried out in a farmer field in Saruhanli district of Manisa province in 2019. Saribaglar-407 type tobacco was used as a research material. Experimental design was Randomized Complete Parcel Design with three replications. In this research, plant height (cm), number of the leaves (per/plant), cured leaf yield (kg ha-1), tobacco visual quality, leaf priming position (%), total alkaloid (nicotine) (%), total reducing sugar (%) and chlorine (%) were determined. Plant height, number of the leaves, yield, nicotine, total reducing sugar and chlorine contents were found 126.7 cm, 48 per/plant, 141 kg ha-1, 1.02%, 9.08% and 0.48%, respectively. An increase in the middle stalk position of the plant was recorded with the application of fertilizer and the results were obtained among the appropriate values for tobacco of the Aegean region in terms of chemical composition. Keywords: tobacco, worm fertilizer, yield, nicotine.
