_ - A field experiment was conducted at Research farm of CSWCRTI, Research centre, Sunabeda in
Koraput Disfrict of Odisha &nng2 A7 - 2010 n Kharif season on sandy clayey red lateritic soil with an
objecfive to assess the effeci of different multitier cropping systems o.t .,r.,oit, soil - nutrient loss and
economic productivity. The experiment comprisiag of square plantation of two types of fruit trees,
papaya and drumstickwithhedgerowplantadonof Gliriciiin onboundary, was lald on2percentsioping
land. Ginger was taken as test intercrop. The total lreatment combinations were six, includilrg the farmers;
practice of ragi cultivation as control. Square plantation of papaya and drumstick in ginger flots arrested
runoff by 6.05 and 5.24% 1n comparison to ragi broadiuitit - tg. In comparison to control, Gliricidia plantafion along the boundary of papaya and drumsfick planteJpiots reduced soi,l loss by 8 .64 and1.Bg thai respectively. Organic carUon (OC), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) loss was reduced by 47.60,
