Abstract

Mango orchards occupy 6.5 million ha area in our country. Monoculture of agricultural crops poses several problems pertaining to productivity and profitability. Mango orchards offer unique scope for integration of compatible intercrops for enhancing orchard productivity and farmers’ income. Diversifying agriculture and horticulture is the only alternative left for enhanced productivity and profitability under the burgeoning population pressure as th ere is little scope for expanding area due to declining man to land ratio.
