Abstract:
A study on rooting of some temperate mulberry genotypes viz., Goshoerami, Ichinose and KNG was conducted at College of Temperate Sericulture Mirgund, SKUAST-Kashmir. Highest rooting percentage (54.58%) under polyhouse condition was recorded in Goshoerami whereas Ichinose and KNG were statistically at par with rooting percentage of 36.87 and 34.58 respectively. Under open condition highest rooting 11.25 percent was recorded in Goshoerami. Ichinose and KNG were statistically at par with rooting percentage of 8.95 and 9.16 respectively. The average rooting percentage of the three genotypes under polyhouse conditions was 42.01 whereas as under open conditions it was 9.78. Among the media combinations used, higher rooting of cuttings (46.66%) was obtained in case of Sand + Soil + FYM which was at par with Sand + Soil + Vermicompost (45.41%) and least value for rooting (33.95%) was recorded in case of Sand + Soil + poultry manure under poly house condition.
