Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the suitability and profitability of different vegetables in particular sequence as intercrop in young mango orchard. The study revealed that the growth of mango in early stages was not adversely affected by different intercrops. Among the intercrop rotations, brinjal in kharif and onion in rabi recorded highest net cost: benefit ratio. During the early age of mango tree, maximum fruit yield (10.60 kg/tree) was recorded in cowpea-potato treatment. However, the brinjal-onion rotation produced 8.03 kg fruit/tree, which was at par with the control (7.90 kg/tree).
