Abstract

The performance of three wheat varieties (NW-1067, NW-1014 and HD-2643) and three paddy varieties (Sarjoo-52, Narendra Usar-2 and Narendra Usar-3) were assessed under five year old Populus deltoides plantation at different distances from tree base (0.5m, 1.0m 1.5m and 2.5 m) and control (open condition).Under this study plant height and straw yield were found better for wheat variety HD-2643 (plant height 89.67 cm and straw yield 2.84 t ha-1)and paddy variety  Narendra Usar-2 (plant height 95.00 cm and straw yield 1.54 t ha-1), when the crop was grown at 0.5 m away from tree base. However, maximum number of shoots (m-2), grain per ear/ panicle, test weight (1000 grain wt. g.) and grain yield (t ha-1) were recorded in case of wheat variety  NW-1067 and paddy variety  Narendra Usar-2, when the crop was grown in open area. Amongest different varieties, wheat variety NW-1067 and paddy variety Narendra Usar-2 were found most suitable for under this study.
