Abstract

An experiment was conducted to investigate the growth and productivity of soybean under Populus deltoides based agrisilviculture system at Raipur (Chhattisgarh), India. The system comprised of five poplar clones (G3, G48, 65/27, D121 and S7C1) planted in a randomized block design with three replications. Soybean was intercropped under these clones during kharif 2002. The results revealed that shoot biomass, root biomass and nodules were highest in sole soy bean (control). Grain yield was highest (14.5 q ha-1) in sole crop and decreased under poplar clones. It reduced from 2.06 to 33.1 % under different clones. The highest reduction was observed in soybean grown under clone G3 and lowest in clone S7C1. The grain yield reduction under different clones followed the order: S7C1 < D121 < 65/27 < G 48 < G3.
