Abstract

Recent studies have revealed that ecofriendly biological agent acaciasides (A and B) are highly effective at a dose of 1 mg / mulberry plant ( Morus alba L., cv. S1) in ameliorating diseases caused by plant pathogens, viz., ischolar_main-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood causing ischolar_main-knot disease, fungus Cercosporam moricola (Cooke) causing leaf spot disease, fungus Phyllactinia corylea (Pers.) Karst causing powdery mildew disease, mosaic virus causing mosaic disease and mealy bug Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) causing tukra disease. Acaciasides also improves the growth of silkworms, shell weight, effective rate of silkworms rearing, sex ratio percentage and egg laying capacity of mother moth.
