Abstract

Seventeen exotic mulberry germplasm accessions were evaluated for propagation traits for two seasons to assess their genetic potential in tropical dry climate. The sprouting percentage after 30 days was observed maximum in M. rotundiloba (88.44%) followed by Kenmochi (87.79%), Shrim-2 (86.57%) and minimum in Fernodias (61.90%). Maximum survival percentage after 90 days followed the same trend as sprouting. The trend of survival percentage of saplings gradually decreases as the age of the saplings increased may be due to environmental influence. The selection of mulberry accession for commercial exploitation, survival is considered one of the important criteria as it is propagated through vegetative means.
