dc.description.abstractThe field experiment was conducted during 2018-2019 at Duwakoti village of district Tehri Garhwal (Uttarakhand) to study the impact of sowing distance from tree base on performance of Amaranth crop (Amaranthus cruentus L.) under Agroforestry system. The experiment consisting of thirteen treatments (i.e. Amaranth under two Agrihorticulture system, two Agrisilviculture system and one control at 1 m , 2 m and 3 m spacing from tree base). Growth parameters (plant population, plant height, leaves per plant, dry weight per plant, stem diameter) for yield attributes (number of panicles per plant, 1000 grain weight (g), grain yield per plant (g), grain yield (kg/ha), biological yield (kg/ha) and harvest index (%) of Amaranth increased with increase in distance from base of the tree and were maximum under control condition (sole cropping). Also maximum nitrogen and phosphorus content in Amaranth seeds were recorded in control condition, however sulphur and crude protein content were recorded higher in T12 (Amaranth at 3m distance from Toon) and minimum sulphur and phosphorus content were reported in T13 (control) and T7 (Amaranth at 1m distance from Kharik). The net return as well as B:C ration of Amaranth remained higher under Agrihorticulture system. The finding of present study suggested that cultivation of Amaranth under Agrihorticulture system can be recommended for the better economic returns under Tehri district of Garhwal Himalyas.en_US
