Phytochemical Investigation on Assessment of Leaf Quality of Different Mulberry Germplasm Genotypes

The growth and development of the silkworm, Bombyx mori cocoon crop are influenced by yield nutritional value mulberry leaf used as feed. It is true that there disparities in quality between genotypes, which explain variations silkworm rearing. present study genotypes S1635, S164, S13, Chinese White, Chak Majra, C4, G4, C2038, V1 K2 to estimate several biochemical components tender leaves. Lowry's method was calculate amount protein, Anthrone [1] total carbohydrates, Ninhydrin for estimation proline, chlorophyll calculated Arnon direct moisture content leaves different varieties. (26.30 mg/g) had considerably lower protein contents compared S13 (49.05 white (48.55 Tender from (10.40 (7.55 greater carbohydrate levels than S1635 (2.55 mg/g). (2.59 (2.56 were higher those C2038 (1.74 S164 (3.90 (3.26 amounts proline (2.00 Total (80.15%) C4 (78.60%) (61.51%).
