Abstract : Chilli [Capsicum], brinjal [aubergines], okras and cauliflowers were each grown in an open field or as intercrops under a 5-year-old mango canopy in field experiments in 1991-92 at Bilaspur, Madhya Pradesh, India. Brinjal produced the highest marketable fruit yield under both open and shaded conditions (319.10 and 62.69 q/ha, respectively). Reductions in yield of Capsicum, brinjal, cauliflower and okra due to intercropping were 87.0, 80.3, 70.4 and 62.3%, respectively.
