Abstract

Wild Mulberry genetic materials were collected from Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh through exploration. The collected materials (26) belong to different species of Morus i.e., M. indica (17), M. alba (04), M. laevigata (02) and M. serrata (03) and subject to propagation for multiplication and subsequent transfer to ex-situ field gene bank. The vegetative cuttings were planted in nursery after grafting on stem stock (Kanva 2 or M5 and V1). Maximum survival percentage was recorded in collection No. 13, 14 (100.00 %) followed by 11 (99.70 %), 17 (99.30 %), 9 (91.00 %) of M. indica.  M. alba grafted sample showed less survival compared to M. indica. M. laevigata and M. serrata are wild species and very poor in rooting showed survival after grafting on local shoot stock. Maximum survival % was recorded in collection No. 26 (57.30 %) followed by 25 (12.00 %) in M. laevigata. M. serrata showed highest survival in collection No. 24 (75.00 %) followed by 22 (46.60 %) and 3 (10.65 %).
