STUDIES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF IMPROVED MULBERRY VARIETY SAHANA AS INTERCROP UNDER COCONUT PLANTATION.

In this article the authors discuss research investigating the performance of an improved mulberry variety Sahana as an intercrop at a coconut plantation. They note that mulberry is primarily cultivated as a mono-crop, but can provide many benefits when used in an intercropping system, such as increased total yield, land use efficiency, and control of weeds and pests. Results of a study investigating the feasibility of a growing mulberry as an intercrop under coconut shade are discussed.
