Abstract
Three foliar fertilizers viz., Ascobein, Novatreen and Citreen were tested for increasing mulberry quality and their effects on biochemical analysis of silkworm Bombyx mori L. Enzymes of alpha-esterase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) were estimated. Mulberry leaves dipped in three concentrations (1.33 g/L, 2.66 g/L and 13.33 g/L) of each fertilizer. Highly significant differences observed between treatments. Both of control and blank treatments have lowest values. Treatment of Novatreen was the best one followed by Ascobein and Citreen treatments for alpha-esterase and transaminases (GOT) & (GPT) enzymes. So that, Novatreen, Ascobein and Citreen were recommended to use (Novatreen, followed by Ascobein and Citreen, respectively) in case of shortage of common fertilizers and in traditional rearing when leaves of mulberry trees wide speared on the canals and road sides. These trees dose not fertilized and the quality of leaves is very low.
