The document discusses various mulberry planting systems based on agro-climatic conditions, emphasizing methods such as pit, row, paired row, and kolar systems. It details the practices for planting, spacing, irrigation, and harvesting, highlighting advantages like reduced labor and better yield in different conditions. The kolar system, in particular, is noted for its efficiency in tropical climates, enabling multiple harvests per year with intensive management.

- 3. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 3 Index • Introduction • Types of planting systems
- 4. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 4 Description • This slide share presents the cultivation methods that are taken up under irrigated and rainfed conditions. • Which depends on the agro climatic conditions, variety and fertility of the soil.
- 5. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 5 Introduction • Mulberry is planted either in the form of cuttings or grafts. • In India cuttings are planted in the tropical region and grafts in the temperate region. • These planting system are adopted according to the availability of agronomical inputs. • In irrigated and high rainfall areas.

- 7. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 7 Pit System • After preparation of land pits of 30 cm, diameter and 15 – 20 cm depth are dug as per the spacing method selected. • Recent observations have shown that digging pits of 45 × 45 cm depth gives better result. • This system is followed for a spacing of 90 cm × 90 cm under rainfed condition. RAINFED SYSTEM
- 8. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 8 • At the time of planting it is sufficient if farmyard manure or composed at the rate of 10 to 15 tone's per hector is applied. • Mulberry is planted in wide spacing commonly into 3×3 this system is practiced in rainfed conditions • The advantage is that inter cultivation is done using bullocks as the space is wide thus saving on the cost of cultivation
- 9. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 9 • In pit system leaf harvesting by plucking is practiced and pruning is done only once a year . • Irrigation is available the spacing is reduced to into two 60 cm x 60 cm but the leaf harvesting is done by plucks
- 10. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 10 Row system • This system of planting is followed in irrigated and high rainfall areas • In this space between rows is wider than space between plants within the row • In Kolar district of Karnataka the plants within the row is 30-45cm and the space between the plants within the row is 4-6 (10cm) IRRIGATED SYSTEMS
- 11. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 11 • Under the package of practices, the row space is 2’(60cm) and plant distance of 9’(22cm) i.e., 2×9 or 60×22cm is recommended. • In row system higher inputs of manure and fertilizers are provided. • Inter cultivation is done only by digging. • The whole shoot is harvested by pruning at the bottom in each crop and hence, the leaf harvesting cost is low.
- 12. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 12 Paired row system • Paired row system of planting with (90+150) cm × 60 cm spacing is advantages over the existing system of plantation with 90 × 90cm or 60 × 60cm spacing. • The advantage of paired row plantation are spacing between two paired rows facilities the use of power tiller for intercultural operations and transportation of leaves.
- 13. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 13 • It also facilities the use of drip irrigation system. • Accommodates more number of acre. • Easy and quick transportation of leaves which reduces moisture loss. • Saves labour up to 40% due to shoot harvesting
- 14. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 14 • In tropical conditions as in South India , mulberry can root easily and therefore, can be easily propagated through cuttings with minimum of time and expenditure. • The cutting should be prepared from 4-8 month’s old hard wood branches which are brown in colour and at least ½ (10 -12mm) in diameter. • The cuttings should be at least 7-8(18-20cm) long with a minimum of three buds the ends of the cuttings should be clean cut with a sharp knife, without split or bark peeling off.

Sai Abhishek 15 Kolar system • It is a modified row system that found in Kolar district of Karnataka. • Here the distance between the rows is kept 30 -45 cm and that between two plant’s is about 10-15. • Under Kolar System cultivation the whole shoot is cut to the ground level at each harvest. • Thus the pruning and harvesting are combined together.
- 16. 12/03/2024 Dr Kuntamalla Sujatha, N, Nagaraju & M. Sai Abhishek 16 • In all five harvest are made in a year and thus the plant receives five pruning's. • This is suitable only for tropical climates, where mulberry sprouts all the year round with no dormant period for bud sprouting. • This type of severe pruning however needs heavy fertilization and irrigation.
