Current experiment is conducted to study correlation and path analysis among morphological parameter and their contribution towards mulberry leaf yield taken up at an alkali hot spot in Karnataka in untreated alkali soil, alkali soils reclaimed with inorganic and organic amendment by growing five alkali tolerant mulberry genotypes alongwith two improved genotypes and one ruling local check at Central Sericulture Research and Training Institute, Central Silk Board, Mysuru. Genotypes were significantly varied (p<0.01-0.05) in morpho-physicological parameters and leaf yield. In addition, morpho-physiological parameters such as leaf area, specific leaf weight and leaf moisture percentage exhibited positive and significant correlation at both phenotypic as well as genotypic level with leaf yield under untreated alkali soil, alkali soils reclaimed with inorganic and organic amendment. From the study it is indicated that the overall performance of the mulberry genotypes with respect to all the parameters improved significantly, when organic amendment through pressmud was considered.
