Abstract
The productivity of aracanut and six intercrops (coffee, cocoa, clove, pepper, banana and pineapple) in the high density multispecies cropping system showed enhanced returns per unit area. Of the six intercrops tried, five showed shade adaptability. The annual/biennial crops used the airspace and light In the Initial years and these crops were gradually removed from the system as canopy of other perennial species developed. The leaf area index of the component crop species was maximum at heights of 2 to 5 meter. On evaluation of toil nutrient status it was observed that there was build up of NPK and there was scope for nutrient recycling.
