GROWTH AND YIELD OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AND SPICES UNDER SISSOO BASED AGROFIRESTRY SYSTEM (Pages : 44 - 49)

The experiment was carried out in the field of the Germplasm Centre, Fruit Tree Improvement Project (FTIP), as well as in the field laboratory of FTIP, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during December 2005 to investigate the growth and yield of medicinal plants and spices grown under Sissoo based Agroforestry system. In open condition, medicinal plants and spices received 100% sunlight; while Guava and Sissoo based Agroforestry system provided 60-65% sunlight for the growth of those plants. The result revealed that the performance of the experimental plants viz. Aloe vera, Asparagus, Misridana, Turmeric, Ginger, Onion, Garlic and Chilli were more significant in Guava and Sissoo based Agroforestry system. All the test plants showed highest results in case of Guava and Sissoo based Agroforestry system compared to that of open condition. Download
