The results showed that two-power function relationships between concentration of sulfur in mulberry leaves and characters of cocoon quality were significant (R2 = 0.139*-0.329**, n = 24-29, a < 0). The range of optimum S concentrations in mulberry leaves was 1.90-2.49 g kg-1 (mean±SE = 2.10±0.15 g kg-1) for high quality of cocoon. There existed significant two-power function or positive linear relationships between S concentration in cocoon shell and characters of cocoon quality (R2 = 0.153*-0.458**, n = 24-29). The range of optimum concentrations of sulfur in cocoon shell was 1.51-1.61 g kg-1 for high quality of cocoon.展开更多
