Mandate
  • To conduct physiological evaluations for improving leaf quality and to analyze leaf quality parameters in mulberry samples received from farmer’s fields and research laboratories.
  • To identify morpho-physiological adaptive traits and genotypes for abiotic stress tolerance such as drought, alkalinity, high temperature, and elevated CO₂.
  • To identify climate-resilient traits and genotypes through screening under modern infrastructures such as Open Top Chamber (OTC) and Free Air Temperature Enrichment (FATE) facilities.
  • To develop and evaluate technologies (such as foliar sprays and nutrient formulations) and provide inputs on nutrient deficiency correction measures in mulberry cultivation.
