“…However, since the nineteenth century, rapid urbanization and population growth have resulted in the release of significant amounts of non-biodegradable waste, chemical pollutants, and harmful gases into the environment via domestic, vehicular, and industrial sources (Minghua et al, 2009) [13] . These anthropogenic activities, combined with industrialization and fossil fuel combustion, have resulted in a significant increase in atmospheric CO 2 levels, surpassing the 400-ppm threshold, as highlighted by Yadav et al (2020) [25] . This surge in carbon dioxide concentration is a primary driver of global warming, contributing to the escalating global temperatures.…”

“…Susarla et al (2002) [21] supported phytoremediation, a plant-based environmental clean-up technology, as a promising green solution. Yadav et al (2020) [25] highlight the ability of agroforestry systems, particularly those that include trees and shrubs, to capture CO 2 and convert it into biomass via photosynthesis. The same study found that this process improves long-term soil carbon storage.…”

“…Koul and Panwar (2008) [28] acknowledged the terrestrial biosphere's ability to absorb and retain atmospheric CO 2 , highlighting it as a viable and cost-effective approach to mitigating carbon emissions. Focusing on India, Yadav et al (2020) [25] investigate the carbon sequestration potential of mulberry, a C3 plant widely cultivated for its leaves and known for its high CO 2 fixation rate. This review looks at mulberry's ability to store carbon in its aboveground biomass and enrich soil carbon stocks.…”

Mulberry trees (genus Morus) hold great promise for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels and improving air quality due to their remarkable ability to sequester carbon. This review article examines various strategies used to maximize the carbon sequestration potential of mulberry trees, thereby contributing to enhanced air quality. The main factors influencing mulberry tree-mediated carbon sequestration are discussed, such as photosynthetic efficiency, biomass accumulation, and pollutant absorption capacities. Furthermore, the review investigates the role of mulberry trees in phytoremediation efforts, focusing on contaminated soil sites near industrial zones. Additionally, cultivation practices such as mulching, irrigation methods, and tillage techniques are evaluated for their effectiveness in optimizing carbon sequestration in mulberry plantations. The review emphasizes the importance of temperate climate conditions, such as those found in areas like Kashmir, for promoting long-term carbon storage in mulberry trees. The findings of this review provide valuable guidance for policymakers, environmentalists, and agricultural practitioners looking to use mulberry trees as powerful allies in the global fight against climate change and air pollution.

“…Therefore, sulphur deficiency could result in reduction in growth and development, leaf yield and nutritive value of mulberry [29], which ultimately affect the cocoon production since the S influence the development of cocoon shells and pupae [28]. In the conventional cultivation practices, 5 crops of mulberry are harvested in a year with a biomass yield of 95-105 MT/ha/year under irrigated conditions [30]. Such a high quantum of biomass yield depletes the soil nutritional status at a faster rate, which is replenished by application of recommended doses of chemical fertilizers and organic manures.…”

Sulphur (S) plays a vital role in improving the quality of mulberry leaves because of its involvement in protein synthesis. The knowledge of different pools of S in soils and its bioavailability for mulberry nutrition is thus, required for optimizing S fertilization. Hence, the present study was designed to ascertain the influence of chemical fertilizer and farmyard manure (both are S sources) on S fractions and its bioavailability in soils. In this regard, four nutrient management practices viz., control (without any chemical fertilizers and organic manures), recommended doses of N, P and K fertilizers (100% RDF), 80% RDF, 60% RDF with four mulberry varieties viz., V-1, G-4, AGB-8 and MSG-2 besides a fallow were considered for the study. Furthermore, the bioavailability of S in soils was tested using four commonly used chemical extractants viz., CaCl2, NaHCO3, AB-DTPA and Mehlich-3 (with different modes and chemistry of extraction). Organic S was the dominant fraction in the experimental soils accounting for 94.7% of total soil S while the inorganic fraction constituted only 5.3% that includes water soluble, sorbed and carbonate occluded S. Lowest amount of organic S content in soils of unmanured control (579.6 mg kg−1) was observed while the 100% RDF treatment (673.2 mg kg−1) maintained a higher content of soil organic S. High amount of sorbed and occluded S was observed in control plot compared to other fertilizer treatments (100% RDF, 80% RDF and 60% RDF). There was a gradual decline in soil S fractions when the fertilizer inputs were reduced to 60% suggesting that recommended doses of fertilizer inputs could maintain the soil S fractions. In addition, the extractable fractions of S were influenced by the fertilizer application rates and the extractability of all four extractants decreased with the reduction in fertilizer inputs. The amount of S extracted by all four chemical extractants followed the order of NaHCO3 > Mehlich-3 > AB-DTPA > CaCl2 across the tested soils. Dynamic relationships among the extractants indicated that they could extract the S from the same pools in soil. Of the four extractants tested for evaluating plant available S, Mehlich-3 showed a higher degree of correlations with plant tissue S concentration and applied S through chemical fertilizers and farmyard manure. Furthermore, it could maintain strong correlations with water soluble and organic S fractions which were found to contribute significantly to plant S concentration. Thus, Mehlich-3 can be recommended for the assessment of bioavailable S for the nutrition of mulberry.

An experiment was undertaken to analyse the impact of fluctuating climateon growth and development of mulberry cuttings (T-1), saplings (T-2), wild tree (T-3) and cultivated tree (control) of the same variety (Chakmajra). Various growth parameters like survivability percentage, rooting percentage, number of sprouted cuttings, fresh and dry weight of leaves and moisture retention capacity (MRC) were studied. Poonch district experienced temperature (temp.) of 3.8 to 15.3 ºC, relative humidity (RH) of 56 to 62%, rainfall 560 to 87mm and snowfall of 213 to 461mm during January to April, 2022. Maximum survivability and rooting percentage of 85.6% in case of T-1 and least 60% in T-3. Whereas, maximum values of longest shoot length and thickest diameter was recorded in T-2 as 16.2 cm and 1.1 cm respectively. T-2 showed more positive results in terms of total no. of available fresh leaves (09), fresh (64g) and dry (16g) weight of the shoots, no. of primary roots (78), MRC (86.2%) and diameter of shoot (1.1cm). Therefore, it can be concluded that farmers should plant saplings directly to save time and resources as it showed better results in terms of various traits under the agro-climatic conditions of Poonch district.
