Abstract

A three-year (2015-16 to 2018-19) field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Eucalyptus clones (C-7, C-83, C-413 and C-288) on growth and yield of barley under agrisilviculture system. Among different clones, C-7 exhibited highest growth in terms of plant height (14.2 m) after three year. Studied clones of eucalyptus significantly affected yield attributing traits of barley. Among different clones of eucalyptus, C-288 and C-413 influenced the growth and yield attributing characters of barley significantly over other clones. Maximum grain and straw yield was recorded in the interspaces of C-83, followed by C-7. After three years of plantation, the average reduction in grain and straw yield of barley was 14.0 and 30.1% respectively, over control (devoid of trees).
