Abstract

Significant differences were recorded in yield levels of tree fruits as well as annual crop components that obtained under integrated cropping when compared with their sole cropping. The yield in fruit trees were more under the integrated cropping models of Aonla + Ber + Karonda + Cluster Bean + Brinjal and Aonla + Ber + Karonda + Cluster bean + Fallow. Minimum yield was recorded when fruit trees were grown as sole crop. Further, the soils under integrated system were found richer in nutritional status as compared to the soils under sole cropping.
