Summary
This study investigates the use of integrated organic fertiliser strategies — likely combining composts, vermicomposts, green manures, or biofertilisers — to optimise mulberry (Morus spp.) crop production and improve soil health resilience. The paper contributes to the body of evidence supporting reduced dependence on synthetic inputs in perennial or semi-perennial horticultural systems. Findings are likely to demonstrate improvements in soil biological and chemical properties alongside acceptable or enhanced crop productivity under organic management regimes.
UK applicability
Mulberry cultivation is not a mainstream agricultural system in the UK, so direct applicability is limited; however, the principles of organic fertiliser integration for improving soil health resilience are broadly transferable to UK horticulture and agroforestry contexts.
Key measures
Soil organic carbon (%); available NPK (mg/kg); microbial biomass; leaf yield (t/ha); leaf quality parameters; soil pH; bulk density
Outcomes reported
The study likely measured the effects of various organic fertiliser treatments on mulberry crop yield, leaf quality, and soil health indicators. Key outcomes probably include soil nutrient status, microbial activity, and plant growth parameters under different organic input strategies.
