Growth, production and resource use in Colophospermum mopane-based agroforestry system in north-western India: Wachstum, Produktion und Ressourcennutzung in einem auf Colophospermum mopane basierenden Agroforestry-System in Nordwest Indien

Two-year-old Colophospermum mopane (Kirk et Benth) Kirk ex J. Leonard plants were intercropped for 7 years with a view to study the effect of tree integration and cropping pattern on land productivity. Tree-integrated plots were C. mopane with Vigna radiata (FC) and with rotation crop (RC), whereas...

description Two-year-old Colophospermum mopane (Kirk et Benth) Kirk ex J. Leonard plants were intercropped for 7 years with a view to study the effect of tree integration and cropping pattern on land productivity. Tree-integrated plots were C. mopane with Vigna radiata (FC) and with rotation crop (RC), whereas control plots were sole V. radiata (CFC), and sole rotation crop (CRC). Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br., V. radiata, Sesamum indicum and Cymopsis tetragonoloba were harvested in the RC/CRC plots. Tree growth variables, biomass and system productivity (tree + crop) did not differ between FC and RC plots. Mean annual increment in tree biomass was 1.2 tonnes ha −1 year −1 . The highest (p
