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.
