What is the role of micronutrients in seed crop mulberry cultivation?
Micronutrients play a major role in several metabolic activities responsible for protein, sugar and enzyme synthesis leading to proper quality mulberry leaf production. In the case of multiple deficiency of micronutrients, the yield may be reduced to even 50 %. By compensating deficient micronutrients, there is chance of 10-30 % compensation in leaf yield and up to 7 % in egg recovery / kg of seed cocoon.
