Present study was carried on eight-year-old Psidium guajava (guava) trees were planted at 10 × 6 m distance, while twelve-year-old Casuarina equisetifolia (Jhau) trees, planted at 10 × 3 m distance. Turmeric (Narendra Haldi-1) was taken in RBD experimental design with three replications in 12 treatments. The C. equisetifolia maximum tree height (22.31m) was found in tree T7 (50% NPK + 100% FYM) treatment. Whereas the maximum DBH of C. equisetifolia was found in T4 (75% NPK+100% FYM) treatment (23.88 cm), canopy width (5.42 m) in T5 (75% NPK+75% FYM) and canopy length (5.51m) were found in the treatment T3 (100% NPK+50%FYM) at the beginning of experiment. The turmeric crop maximum yield of fresh weight of rhizome (235.33g) was obtained in T1, 100% NPK (120:80:80kg/ha) +20t/ha FYM/ha treatment and the maximum dry weight of rhizomes (38.77g) was found in T1, 100% NPK (120:80:80kg/ha) +20 t/ha FYM/ha treatment.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield of wheat and paddy under four year old Dalbergia sissoo based agri-silviculture system on sodic soil in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was laid out with treatment consisting of three varieties of wheat (NW-1067, NW-1014 and HD-2643) and paddy (Sarjoo-52, Narendra Usar-2 and Narendra Usar-3) grown in factorial Randomized Block Design. The study reveals that plant height (89.33 cm and 98.00 cm) and straw yield (1.15 t ha-1 and 1.59 t ha-1) varieties of wheat HD-2643 and paddy Narendra Usar-2 were found better respectively, when the crop were grown at 1.0 m away from D. sissoo tree base in the alley cropping. However, maximum number of per ear/panicle and 1000 grain test weight (grain yield 2.32 t ha-1 and 2.33 t ha-1) varieties of wheat NW-1067 and paddy Narendra Usar-2 were recorded respectively, when crop were grown in open area. Amongst different varieties viz. NW-1067 (wheat) and Narendra Usar-2 (paddy) were found better for cultivation under D. sissoo based agri-silviculture system. Wheat variety-NW 1067 and paddy variety Narendra Usar-2 were found better for cultivation under D. sissoo based agri-silviculture system in salt affected soil.Keywords
