Researchers at Aleksandras Stulginskis University and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences evaluated the influence of biodynamic (BD) preparations 500 and 501 on the quality of Morus alba (white mulberry) leaves. Their results were published in the journal Biological Agriculture & Horticulture.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that BD preparations can increase the amount of phenolic compounds in mulberry leaves, particularly of the Turchanka cultivar.
