Abstract
Studies conducted on Ardu (Ailanthus excelsa) based agrisilvi system of Agroforestry during 1999-00 to 2001-02 have indicated beneficial effect of Ardu on environment and soil health. The raising of arable leguminous crops, viz. Cowpea, Clusterbean and Greengram as sole and as intercrops in between tree (528 trees/ha) rows indicated reduction in production under agrisilvi system as compared to sole, though, there was an improvement in soil fertility status under Ardu based Agroforestry system. The reduction in production due to competition between arable crops and woody component, i.e., Ardu is compensated by tree products and timber at completion of rotation cycle, besides improving soil fertility.
