Abstract

A trial on agrisilvicultural system was carried out from 1996 to 1998. Four common Kharif field crops like paddy (var. Heera), Green gram (var. K-851), Black gram (var. T-9) and Groundnut (var. Smruti) were grown in the allies of four tree species, viz., Eucalyptus tereticornis, Dalbergia sissoo, Acacia auriculiformis and Gmelina arborea in a slopy barren land. The Mean annual increment of tree growth (height and girth) was maximum in Eucalyptus tereticornis followed by Dalbergia sissoo. The productivity of kharif field crops were invariably maximum under the canopy of Dalbergia sissoo followed by Acacia auriculiformis but lowest yield of above crops were obtained from the inter spaces of Eucalyptus tereticornis.
