Abstract : Effects of mango tree height, direction and distance from the tree on growth and yield of gobhi sarson were determined in an orchard at Jachh, Himachal Pradesh. Crop yield decreased with increasing tree height (1-2, 2-4 or 4-6 m), was lower 0.5-2.5 than 2.5-4.5 m from the trees, and was greater when grown south than north of the mango tree line (trees were grown in east-west rows). Gobhi sarson germination in petri dishes was increased by mango leaf leachate, whereas root length and seedling fresh weight were decreased.
