Description A field experiment was laid out during 1994-96 to assess the performance of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe)and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) under 10-years-old fodder trees, namely Grewia optiva Drummond (bhimal), Celtisaustrelis (kharik), Quercus leucotrichophora A.Camusex (binj) and Bauhinia veriegata (kachnar). The results showedthat yield of turmeric and ginger was affected significantly with different fodder trees. Both turmeric (12.04 tonnes/ha) and ginger (7.98 tonnes/ha) gave the highest yield with Quercus leucotrichozophora. However, the highest greenforage of trees was harvested from Bauhinia vereigala (7.7 kg/tree). Negative correlation (r= -0.77) was obtainedbetween light intercepted by the trees and yield of under grown ginger and turmeric. Association of Quercusleucotrichophora with turmeric and ginger was found to be the most suitable and remunerative silvi-horti combination.
