Abstract

We bred a mulberry cultivar named Shimgang, through local adaptability test, which is under registration as a new cultivar for fruit production. Local adaptability test had been carried out at four local places(Suwon, Chuncheon, Buan and Jinju) for five years from 2011. This variety 'Shimgang' belongs to Morus Microphylla Buckl. selected from seedlings imported from USA. Shimgang was resistant to popcorn disease and high yielding variety in fruit productivity by 111% compared to control cultivar 'Shimheung(Morus alba L.)' for three years. Although fruits of 'Shimgang' was smaller in size and lower in sugar content of mulberry fruits, it showed stronger resistance than that of 'Shimheung'. It is adaptable to every where except the places where cold and late frost damage happen frequently.
