dc.description.abstract | The study entitled “Performance of Mango Based Agri-Horticulture System at Bhandra Block of Lohardaga District in Jharkhand” was conducted at Dhanamunji Village, Bhandra Block in Lohardaga District of Jharkhand during the year 2017-2018 with the objectives: (1) To study the growth and yield of Mango under Agri- Horticulture system. (2) To study the growth and yield performance of Mustard and Linseed under Mango based Agri-Horticulture system. (3) To study the economics of Agri-Horticulture system in combination of Mustard and Linseed with Mango. The design adopted was RBD with five treatments and four replications. They were: T1: Mango+Mustard, T2: Mango+ Linseed, T3: Sole Mango, T4: Sole Mustard and T5: Sole Linseed. The fruit yield of mango (Mangifera indica L.) (var. Amrapalli) expressed significant increase due to intercropping and was higher in T1 (36.68 kg/ha) than in T2 (34.57 kg/ha). The maximum height of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) (var. Laxmi) plant at harvest was found in T4 (115.00 cm) and minimum was found in T1 (113.07 cm). Almost similar trend was followed in number of primary branches/plant, number of siliquae/plant, number of seed/siliqua, test weight, grain yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index (%) too. The maximum height of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) (var. Neelam) plant at harvest was found in T5 (53.08 cm) and minimum was found in T2 (51.50 cm). Almost similar trend was followed in number of capsules/plant, number of seed/capsule, test weight, grain yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index (%) too. The maximum net monetary return ( 82,209 per ha) was found in T1 treatment and was followed by T2 ( 71,771 per ha), T3 ( 41,090 per ha), T4 ( 25,608 per ha) and minimum ( 18,731 per ha) in T5. The benefit cost ratio varied from 2.12 - 3.95 and was maximum (3.95) in T1 followed by T2 (3.55) and was minimum (2.12) in T5. Non-significant reduction in pH and available nitrogen content of soil but nonsignificant increase in available phosphorus and potassium in all the treatments at the harvest. Likewise, there was non-significant increase in water holding capacity and organic carbon content of the soil in all treatments at the harvest. Hence, it can be concluded that cultivation of mustard and linseed under agrihorticulture system is a profitable cultivation practice for farmers of Jharkhand region. The intercultural operations, water management and manures and fertilizer management of field crops improved the flowering and fruiting of mango. Farmers can be benefited by practicing mango-based agri-horticulture system through additional income, on-farm employment, and better nutritional and food security.
