Abstract

The present study to investigate the 'Effect of Tree Leaf Mulch on growth and yield of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) in Guava (Psidium guajava L.) based Agri-horti System in rainfed condition of Vindhyan region', was conducted during the kharif season of 2015 at Agricultural Research Farm of Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Barkachha, Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh.The field experiment was conducted in 8 year old guava tree plantation with spacing of 7x7 meter.Experiment consisted of total 12 treatment combinations which were replicated three times, factorial randomized block design having four different type of leaf mulching (i.e., Leucaena leucocephala (M 1 ), Azadirachta indica (M 2 ), Emblica officinalis (M 3 ), Albizia lebbeck (M 4 ) and three different levels of doses of leaf mulch (i.e., 0 t/ha (D 0 ), 2.5 t/ha (D 1 ) and 5 t/ha (D 2 ).Result showed that both of type and dose of leaf mulch recorded maximum plant height (181.19 cm), Number of leaves plant -1 (16.87),Number of tillers plant -1 (0.93), Total dry matter accumulation plant -1 (76.05 g) , Panicle length (18.50 cm), Panicle girth (9.58 cm), Number of grains panicle -1 (1165.78),grain weight panicle -1 (12.82 g), test weight (10.98 g) with Leucaena leucocephala at 5 t/ha and minimum with Albizia lebbeck at 0 t/ha.Dose of leaf mulch obtained maximum of grain yield (17.13 q/ha), straw yield (51.09 q/ha), Harvest index (24.73%) at 5 t/ha and minimum at 0 t/ha in Vindhyanregion.
