This article examines the issues of restoring the biological activity of mulberry trees through grafting, extending their productive lifespan, and increasing leaf yield. The study analyzes the effects of various grafting methods (bud grafting, varietal grafting, combined grafting) on young mulberry saplings and identifies the most effective technologies. In grafted saplings, enhanced growth vigor, accelerated vegetative regeneration, and increased leaf biomass were observed. The article also provides a scientific analysis of how maintenance practices, agrotechnical conditions, and the quality of grafting material affect productivity. The research results offer practical recommendations for ensuring high leaf yields in mulberry cultivation, creating a stable raw material base for sericulture farms, and rapidly rejuvenating mulberry plantations.
