- Intervention effect The new pruning schedule significantly increased leaf yield per plant in both seasons.
- Intervention effect The new pruning schedule significantly increased primary shoots per plant, longest shoot length and total shoot length.
- Intervention effect The new pruning schedule significantly increased leaf moisture content and leaf fall at harvest.
- Intervention effect The new mulberry crop schedule doubled leaf productivity compared with the existing schedule.
- Association Optimal weather and crop growth period influenced leaf yield, with weather having the greater impact in autumn and growth period in spring.
- Association Most reeling cocoon and silk parameters differed significantly with pruning schedules in both seasons.
- Intervention effect The effective rate of rearing and weight was higher under the new pruning schedule than under the existing schedule.
- Intervention effect Single cocoon weight was higher under the existing schedule than under the new pruning schedule.
- Intervention effect The new silkworm rearing schedule gave 10-12% higher cocoon yield than the existing crop schedule in both Agrahayani and Falguni crops.
- Intervention effect Delaying the pruning and rearing date by two weeks effectively increased leaf and cocoon output.
- Recommendation New mulberry sericulture crop schedules are a climate change adaptation strategy to maintain production potential in the lower-Gangetic region.
