Abstract

An investigation was carried out at farmers' fields involving four tree species viz. Prosopis cineraria, Acacia leucophloea, Dalbergia sissoo and Acacia nilotica having 8 m canopy spread to see the effect on yield and nutrient (N, P, K) uptake by understorey wheat cv. Raj. 3765 under irrigated conditions. The results indicated significantly least reduction in grain yield of wheat beneath canopy of P. cineraria (6.85 %) followed by A. leucophloea (19.28 %), D. sissoo (38.27 %) and A. nilotica (47.33%) in comparison to no tree control (36.66 qha-1). The reduction in straw yield also followed the same pattern. Uptake of N, P and K by grain and straw of wheat under canopy of tree species followed the similar trend of grain and straw yields.
