The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behaviour of yield of Gram (Cicer arietinum) crop over years (1999-2000 to 2004-2005) grown under four different fodder tree species, without tree and at different distances from tree base. We examine different modeling approaches to study the impact of tree species on crop productivity and identify model that best explains yield trend.
