dc.description.abstractA field experiment on mixed cropping of coconut and cacao was initiated in 1970-71 in an existing 16-year-old coconut plantation of high-yielding genotypes. Cacao was planted in 2 systems - single hedge (single row of cacao between rows of coconut) and double hedge (2 rows of cacao between rows of coconut). There was also a control plot of pure stand of In 1973 the yield of cacao (number of pods/plant) was identical under both methods of planting but in 1974 it was significantly more in the single hedge. The average increase in the yield of coconut under control, single hedge and double hedge worked out to 64.3, 68 I and 115.9%, respectively, over the pre-experimental yield of the corresponding groups. The increase in the control plot was due to better management practices. The additional increase in yield of coconut under mixed cropping with cacao could be due to the synergistic effect of crop combination.en_US
