Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of plant densities on leaf yield and its attributing characters along with quality parameters of five triploid mulberry varieties. Leaf yield was higher in 60 x 60 cm spacing whereas leaf quality was better in 150 x 150 cm spacing. Variety S1708 was found performing equally well in all spacing. From this study, it has been concluded that unlike diploid mulberry varieties the optimum spacing for triploid mulberry variety is 60 x 60 cm which may be adopted for cultivation of triploid mulberry varieties for better leaf yield
