Abstract : A study was conducted from 1990/91 to 1995-96 in Uttar Pradesh, India, to determine the effect of four cultivars of mango on the yield of wheat sown in the interspaces of the mango cultivars. The grain and straw yield of wheat was recorded from the first, third and fifth rows from the tree component (Leucaena leucocephala). Among the growth characters in mango, on average, 'Langra' gave the highest values followed by 'Mallika' and 'Deshari'. The lowest growth characters were found in 'Amrapalli'. On average, the highest grain and straw yield was recorded with 'Amrapalli' and lowest with 'Mallika'. On average, maximum Wheat yield was registered from the fifth row followed by the third row and minimum in the first row from the tree component.
