Effect of Nitrogen fertilizer (Urea) on Morus alba leaf yield
Iqbal Ahmad
ABSTRACT
Trials conducted to find out the effect of urea on
mulberry leaf yields revealed that after one year of
planting 78.8%, 120%and 175% increase in annual leaf
yield occurred in 100kg N 200kg N and 300 kg N
respectively, per hectare as against check where no
fertilizer were applied. After two years of planting the
total annual increase in leaf yield was 55% 100% and
120% kg per hectare in 100kg N 200kg N and 300kg N
respectively as against check where no fertilizer were
applied. It was found that application of Nitrogen
(Urea) at the rate of 200kg per hectare if applied
50%after sprouting in spring and 50% after 20 days of
1st leaf plucking increased 100% leaf than no fertilizer
application.
