Description An experiment involving arable crops, viz rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L), sunnhemp (Crotolaria juncea L.), silvicultural crops (E. tereticomis L.), C. equisetifolia J. R. & G. Foret, A. molucana (L.) Benth, T grandis L.)

Grass was planted in 1 m wide strip on either side of sapota + tree species. At the end of 17 years, trees were felled. Income from tres was higher in field crops + sapota with inclusion of teak and eucalyptus trees. Higher income from sapota was In sole crop and with A. molueana. Total average income from field crop + sapota + teak was higher by 46 % than with field crops + sapota. Net pay back value and benefit: cost ratio were higher in sapota+teak (Rs 1633 176 and 9.31 respectively) and sapota + sissoo (Rs 6754 08 and 4.34 respectively).
