ABSTRACT
In view of popularity of the Poplar tree with the
farmers, it was desired to work out a suitable pattern
of planting Poplar (Populus deltoids) in AF system for
inter-cropping with agricultural corps. A replicated
experiment involving agricultural crops (maize and
wheat) and silvicultural crop. (Poplar) was initiated
during 1990-91 at PFRI Research Garden. Poplar was
planted in rows 6.1 m, 9.2 m, and 12.2 m apart with a
uniform distance of 1.5 m from tree to tree within the
rows. Poplar crop. The result available upto September,
1993 has shown that pattern of planting in rows 9.2 m or
12.2 m apart is a good system to allow interc-ropping
upto 5th or even 6th year age of Poplar crop. The
experiment is in progress.
