(HP) during 2016 to 2018. The experiment comprised of 9 treatments in Lepidium sativum, Linum usitatissimum, Ocimum sanctum and Andrographis paniculata with peach and without peach viz. T1 (Peach + medicinal plant + FYM 2t/ha), T2 (Peach + medicinal plant + FYM 4t/ha), T3 (Peach + medicinal plant + Vermicompost 2t/ha), T4 (Peach + medicinal plant + Vermicompost 4t/ha), T5 (Peach + medicinal plant + Jeevamarutha 500 l/ha), T6 (Peach + medicinal plant + RDF NPK kg/ha), T7 (Peach + medicinal plant), T8 (medicinal plant + RDF NPK kg/ha) and T9 (Control). The maximum growth and yield of medicinal plants (Lepidium sativum, Linum usitatissimum, Ocimum sanctum and Andrographis paniculata) was found in T6 (Peach + medicinal plant + RDF). In L. sativum, L. usitatissimum maximum estimated seed yield (9.93 q/ha and 7.90 q/ha, 10.16 q/ha and 8.03 q/ha) was recorded in T6 during 2016-17 and 2017-18 in Rabi season respectively, where as in Kharif season maximum herb yield of O. sanctum and A. paniculata (16.27 q/ha and 17.13 q/ha and 5.05 q/ha and 5.54 q/ha) was recorded in T6 during 2016-17 and 2017-18. In Kharif season maximum yield was found in second year as compared to first year. Economic analysis of L. sativum, L. usitatissimum, O. sanctum and Andrographis paniculata recorded that maximum gross return (Rs. 129090, Rs 101600, Rs 226350 and Rs 107400), maximum net return (Rs. 152166 and Rs 127556, Rs 125026 and Rs 98185.85, Rs 244357 and Rs 245237, Rs 133644.3 and Rs 137204.30) and B:C ratio (2.46 and 2.12, 2.08 and 1.62, 3.68 and 3.58, 2.33 and 2.35) were recorded in T6 during 2016-17 and 2017-18. Use of recommended dose of fertilizers increased the availability of nutrients to the plant. Based on the findings of present studies it can be concluded that Lepidium sativum, Linum usitatissimum, Ocimum sanctum and Andrographis paniculata can be successfully grown under peach based agroforestry system.ennullThesis
