The study on “Performance of tree mulberry applied with secondary nutrients and its influence on silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)” was carried out in the established V-1 tree mulberry garden at College of Sericulture, Chintamani during 2022-23. The treatments were formulated based on the recommendation for sulphur application in mulberry and proposed the recommendation for calcium, magnesium and sulphur in the ratio of 3:1:0.9, respectively. The results revealed that RDF + Soil application of Ca:Mg:S :: 82.5:27.5:25 to tree mulberry garden recorded highest total shoot length, number of shoots/tree, number of leaves/tree, leaf area (cm2) and leaf yield, respectively on 45th and 60th days after application of fertilizers which are on par with RDF + soil application of Ca:Mg:S :: 66:22:20. The lowest observations was recorded in control (recommended dose of fertilizer + FYM).
