Soil and water conservation along with
crop productivity improvement is indispensable for
sustainable development of rainfed areas. Integration
of suitable fruit trees within the cropping system can
reduce risk allied with rainfed farming. The system of
raising multi-height plant species with agricultural
crops known as multitier agroforestry system was
assessed (2007–2010) for resource conservation and
production potential in rainfed conditions of Eastern
Ghats region in India. Thirty experimental plots, each
of 18 9 12 m dimension with 2 % slope having
different multitier agroforestry treatments were
assessed for soil erosion, nutrient loss and crop yield.
Results revealed that multitier plantation of drumstick
(Moringa oleifera) with Gliricidia sepium hedgerow
and ginger (Zingiber officinale): pigeonpea (Cajanus
cajan) (8:2) intercropping enumerated minimum
mean runoff (8.26 %) and soil loss (3.45 Mg ha-1
).
This treatment saved 74 % more soil organic carbon,
64 % more phosphorus and 66 % more potassium,
respectively than broadcasted finger millet cultivation
(traditional farmers’ practice). An increase of
24–27 % drumstick fruit yield was observed in
Gliricidia hedgerow based multitier agroforestry systems
over non-Gliricidia systems. The findings will
contribute as a technical reference for the promotion of
hedgerow based multitier agroforestry for resource
conservation and fertility restoration of sloping lands
