Background: Black gram (Vigna mungo. L) is one of the most cultivated legume pulse crop with high nutritive value and Malabar neem (Melia dubia) is an emerging industrial agroforestry tree in Southern India. To maximize the land utilization with a field experiment was conducted at Western zone of Tamil Nadu to investigate the performance of black gram varieties under different spatial arrangements of Melia dubia plantations. Methods: An agroforestry trial was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with eight treatments and three replications during kharif and rabi (2019-20) season. Black gram crop varieties (V1 - CO6 and V2 - VBN 6) were intercropped with M. dubia (1.5 year old plantation) with three different spacing of S1 (3 x 1.5 m), S2 (3 x 3 m) and S3 (4 x 4 m) while S0 as open field (Sole crop of black gram) for both the season. Result: The results of pooled analysis of two season shown that, treatment S0V2 recorded plant height (49.96 cm), number of branches (3.76), number of leaves (259.75), number of flowers (53.44), number of pods (22.85), seed yield per plant (5.38 g) and seed yield per hectare (0.82 tonnes) in open condition. Similarly in intercropping the growth and yield attributes of black gram were minimum performance recorded in CO 6 at closer spacing (3 x 1.5 m). In tree growth maximum pooled height increment (1.57 m) was observed in closer spacing (3 x 1.5 m) and maximum diameter recorded in wider spacing of both varieties. Hence wider spacing of S3 (4 x 4 m) can be suggested for intercropping under M. dubia plantations upto 4 years.

Paddy is major predominant crop during Kharif in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh, cultivated in an area of 112353 ha, out of total cropped area of 117608 ha with productivity of 2524 kg/ ha. Farmers grow crop by adopting traditional method of paddy cultivation, use more seed rate, close spacing, late transplanting with over aged seedlings common phenomenon due to erotic rainfall climate change. Scarcity of labour and escalation in labour wages, reduction in labour efficiency are leading to low net returns. In this context DAATT Centre, Vizianagaram district of ANGRAU, in collaboration with Department of Agriculture, Vizianagaram has introduced “Mechanized System Rice Intensification (MSRI). Mechanized system rice intensification (MSRI) is boon to farmers to save money and time. DAATT Centre, Vizianagaram has organized on farm trials (OFTs) in farmer fields in two seasons Kharif, 2015 and Kharif, 2016. MSRI technology in paddy recorded 20.76 per cent yield over normal transplanting method of paddy cultivation during both Kharif seasons. The results from the study showed that the farmers realized the Rs.15038 additional net income due to increased grain yield by 20.76 per cent with reduction of cost of cultivation by Rs.1150, it could be attributed to reduction in manual labour of 3 man labour and 21 women labour per ha and also increase in yield attributes and yield.
