摘要

Field experiments conducted over 10 years between 2015 and 2025 at ICAR—Indian Institute of Horticultural Research Institute indicated the feasibility for mixed fruit cropping in the initial orchard years of mango. With a spacing of 10 m × 10 m, mango was able to cover only 28.9% of the land coverage in 10 years, while mixed fruit cropping resulted in a total coverage of 57.5% of the total area. Among the mixed filler crops, guava (variety ‘Arka Kiran’) was found to be suitable during the first 10 years of establishment, with an additional system productivity of 35.1%. Dolichos bean (variety ‘Arka Amogh’), with a yield level of 3.2 t/ha, performed well as an intercrop between mango and filler crops. The organic carbon content increased in the interspaces (from 0.20% up to 0.58%) over the period. All three major nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, showed an increasing trend over the years in the interspaces with the recommended package followed for each of the crops. The system approach in mango as a whole resulted in a net profit of Rs. 2.58 lakhs/ha per year by the 10th year of planting and, compared to a situation of monocropping, where the returns from mango are restricted to a period of 3 months in a year, the mixed cropping system showed returns for a period of over 6 months.
