The mulberry (Morus spp.) plant holds significant value in the sericulture industry, as its foliage serves as a vital source of food for the mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori L.). A research study was undertaken to figure out which mulberry variety V1 and MR2 propagated both by stem cuttings and apical cuttings was best performed locally. The investigation was based on biochemical composition including leaf moisture, moisture retention capacity, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, carotenoid, total chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, soluble protein, total carbohydrates, crude protein, total sugar content present in mulberry leaves. The nutritional status of different mulberry varieties is determined by its biochemical composition present. The findings showed that the mulberry mini-clones 60DAP-AC (V1) and 60DAP-AC (MR2) have registered enhanced nutritional parameters than 90DAP-SC (V1) and 90DAP-SC (MR2) and were therefore best suited for raising silkworms to obtain good cocoon parameters.
