Performance of Different Fruit Species under Agroforestry System in Chattogram Hill Tracts

Abstract

Performances of lemon, BARI Malta-1 and guava grown in different hill elevations under forest tree species Koroi (Albizia sp.) were evaluated at the existing plantation of Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during 2019-20. The results of the study revealed that Seedless lemon, BARI Malta-1 and BARI Guava-3 varieties have the potentiality of producing a remarkable yield under the partial shade of forest tree species Albizia procera in the different hill elevations under agro-forestry system. Mid and lower hill elevations are more suitable for Seedless lemon, BARI Malta-1 and BARI Guava-3 production than higher hill elevation. Both the vegetative growth and yield of fruits were comparatively lower in the higher elevations of the hill.
