Abstract:
The present investigation “Cultivation of Dracaena fragrans cv. Massangeana as an intercrop in guava in different spacing pattern” was conducted in Research Field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, during March, 2020 to August 2020.The seedlings 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 T6 65cm x 55cm spacing pattern as an intercropping system in Guava (Psidium guajava 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 fragrans cv.
