Abstract

A field experiment on rice based agrisilviculture system with two tree species viz. Acacia auriculiformis and Casuarina equisetifolia planted at 3 spacings (5x2, 10x2 and 15x2m) was initiated in 1997. The yield of rice in interspaces of both the tree species reduced as compared to no tree control. The reduction in yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield of rice decreased with increasing tree row spacing. At closer spacing of 5 x 2m, the reduction in grain yield of rice was to the tune of 33.01% and 26.44% when grown in between two rows of Casuarina equisetifolia and Acacia auriculiformis respectively. The economic analysis of the system revealed higher net returns when Acacia auriculiformis was planted at 5x2m spacing.
