INFLUENCE OF MANGO-BASED AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM AND SPACING ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L. var. BARI Gom 26) (Pages : 1 - 4)

The present study was carried out to evaluate the influence of mango-based agroforestry system and plant spacing on the growth and yield performance of wheat variety BARI Gom 26 (Triticum aestivum L.) Wheat seeds were sown in lines at three different spacing viz. 15, 20 and 25 cm with two production systems namely open field (sole cropping) and wheat and mango based production system. Plant height of wheat was found significantly higher under mango based production system (93 cm) compared to wheat sole cropping (33.33 cm). On the other hand plant height did not vary significantly due to spacing. Leaf length was also significantly higher in mango based system (36.67 cm) compared to open field (31 cm). However, higher yield ha-1 of wheat was found in mango based system (3.59 tons) compared to open field (3.52 tons) but there was no statistical variation between them. Finally it may be concluded that though intercropping of wheat with Amrapali mango tree increased vegetative growth and but there was no variation of grain yield of wheat.Download
