| dc.description.abstract | With a view to find out suitable intercrops in the early stages of cashew plantation (for first 5 years), an attempt has been made at National Research Centre for cashew, puttur to grow cashew as main crop and pigeonpea, tapioca (annuals); pineapple, papaya (biennials) and tree species like Casuarina, Acacia, Subabul (Perennials) as inter and mixed-crops and these are being compared with a cover crop {Mucwia sp.) and a control (without any inter crop). Preliminary studies indicated that both the food crops as intercrop can be successfully grown in the laterite undulating land. Growth of fruit crops and tree species were found to be very satisfactory under rainfed condition. It is thus possible to utilize the wider interspace (spacing 8m x 8m) profitably during the pay-back period of cashew and thereby to get additional income which has been illustrated in this paper. | en_US |
