THE CHANGES IN MOISTURE CONTENT (STATUS) DURING LEAF SENESCENCE IN SERICULTURAL CROP MORUS ALBA LINN.

S. K. Khade

Abstract :

 An attempt has been made to study changes in moisture content during leaf senescence in mulberry cultivars viz. M5 (K2), V1 and S36. It is evident from the figure, maximum moisture content is in the young leaves of all the three cultivars. The moisture percentage is reduced in senescent leaves of all the three mulberry cultivars. The mature leaves shows lower moisture level as compaired to young leaves of all the three cultivars. The changes in moisture status are more prominent in the leaves of cultivar V1. The reduced moisture content in the senescence leaves may affects the health, growth and yield of Silkworms cacoon.
