Abstract
Mulberry silkworm i.e. Bombyx mori nourishes its nutrition from its sole food plant i.e. Morus alba. Various biochemical techniques have facilitated the sericulture‟s in identifying the most nutritive mulberry variety for obtaining eminent silk. A deficiency of certain nutrients or an imbalance of nutrients in leaves causes some changes in the composition or metabolic activity of larval body (Ito, 1972).Leaves at different mulberry varieties namely S-1, S-13, S-1635, S-146,TR-10,K-2 and Mysore local grown under the agro-climate condition of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh were analyzed for two nutritive contents i.e. total carbohydrates, crude protein. The result reveled that K-2 apical leaves(0.196mg/gm) and least value of protein content in S-146 (0.122mg/gm) in apical leaves ,in middle leaves more Protein contents in K-2 (0.284mg/gm)and least value of protein content inTR-10(0.109mg/gm) and in bottom leaves high value of protein content inS146(0.208mg/gm)and least value of protein content in TR-10(0.128mg/gm) and more carbohydrate content were showed in TR-10 apical leaf (0.476mg/gm) and least value of carbohydrate content in S-1(0.292mg/gm) in apical leaf while in middle leaves more carbohydrate content inTR-10(0.547mg/gm)and least value inS-1635(0.257mg/gm) and in bottom leaves carbohydrate content in S-1635(0.546mg/gm) and least value in S-146(0.246mg/gm). The statistical data analysis shows that the protein content are less significant in apical leaf and bottom leaf(„f‟>0.05 )and highly significant in middle leaf („f‟ 0.05 ). Overall in biochemical composition of mulberry varieties, K-2 scored maximum for most of the parameters followed by S-146, TR10 and S-1635 varieties best for sericulture industry.
