ABSTRACT

Different concentrations of four antitranspirants were applied on the foliage of
mulberry (MOTUS alba L.) var. S-1 during the year 1999-2001 with a view to study the
physiological activity and leaf yield under water stresS condition. CCC increased. the
photosynthetic rate of mulberry at 54 %than that of control in limited irrigated condition.
PMA was less effective as compared to CCC, BX-112 and ABA. Accumulation of dry
matter of mulberry leaves was observed higher due to CCC application followed by BX112.
The nitrate reductase activity was found maximum in CCC treated plants in two
levels of irrigation. The leaf yield was also found maximum in CCC treated mulberry
leaves followed by BX-112 . The correlation between Photosynthesis and leaf yield,
nitrate reductase and leaf yieW and nitrate reductase and photosynthesis were found
significant.
