Agri-silviculture system

In this system, crops are intercropped in the interspace of the trees. The food-grain crops can be profitably be taken for up to four years of the plantation. Some shade-loving crops like fodder and shallow-rooted crops can be cultivated economically, beyond four years of plantation. Without compromising the tree population, wider spacing can be adopted that will facilitate inter-cultural activity and bring more sunshine to the intercrops.
