Abstract:
The field experiment entitled was conducted at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Regional Research Station, Bawal, Rewari, Haryana, India. This experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The seedlings of Ailanthus excelsa were planted at planting densities i.e. 10 x 20 m (50 trees ha^-1), 10 x 10 m (100 trees ha^-1), 10 x 6.5 m (150 trees ha^-1), and 10 x 5 m (200 trees ha^-1) during 2013-2014. After six year plantation of Mahaneem, the crop rotation sequences i.e. moong (Vigna radiate variety MH-421)-wheat (Triticum aestivum varieties namely WH-711, WH-1105, HD-2967, HD-3086), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata variety Pant^-1) wheat (Triticum aestivum varieties namely WH-711, WH-1105, HD-2967, HD-3086) were intercropped under Mahaneem based agroforestry system. The results revealed that the 20 x 10 m planting spacing was found better for planting of Ailanthus excelsa with or without intercrop.
