EFFECT OF ANTITRANSPIRANTS ON WATER STATUS AND GROWTH PATTERN OF MULBERRY ( MORUS ALBA L) UNDER TWO LEVELS OF IRRIGATION
1Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute
Berhampore-742 101, india
ABSTRACT
An investigation was carried out to study the effect antitranspirants on leaf water
status and growth pattern of mulberry under two levels of irrigation during the year
1999-2001. Leaf moisture content was observed highest in control under normal
irrigated plants while in limited irrigation BX-112 had the maximum followed by
CCC. Control had the lowest moisture content. CCC and BX-112 increased the
relative water content of mulberry leaves at both the irrigation levels. CCC and BX-
112 enhanced total dry matter accumulation particularly in limited irrigation. CCC
application augmented the leaf area index. CCC and BX-112 showed the capacity to
increase CGR and NAR in terms of growth rate and assimilation under low soil
moisture condition.
