Abstract:
The present investigation “Cultivation of Dracaena reflexa in different spacing pattern as an intercrop in custard apple block” was conducted in Research Field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, during September2020 to March 2021.The plants were planted at a plot of 1meter with various spacing pattern. The experiment was laid out with nine treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The plants were watered immediately after planting and at weekly intervals during growing period. Based on the present investigation it is concluded that T5 75cm x 75cm spacing pattern as an intercropping system in Custard apple (Annona squsmosa L.) gave best plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, plant spread (E-W and N-S), leaf area (cm2), leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm) fresh leaf weight (g), dry leaf weight (g), Days taken for sprout formation after harvest and Vase life (days) of Dracaena reflexa.
