Abstrakt: Diversification of cropping pattern coupled with the development of suitable technology packages is crucial to meet the ever-increasing demand for diversified products and sustained farmers' incomes. We evaluated different woodlot-based multistoried agroforestry systems for their effectiveness to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change by offering multifaceted benefits. Specifically, the present study aimed to assess the yield and probability of woodlot based multistoried agroforestry system with two vegetables, i.e., potato and brinjal during the period of 2019-2020. The vegetables were planted on the floor of the orchard where pineapple were planted in the same row with the trees. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that the upper-storied woody plants and sole vegetables received 100 % Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) but incident light gradually decreased for brinjal and potato, which were grown at the floor of woody trees. The vegetables experienced 55.85(T 3 ), 60.70(T 2 ), 66.38(T 1 ), and 100 (T 4 ) % PAR under different tree crop combinations respectively. In both cases the highest BCR (3.75) and (3.09) was obtained in the ghoraneem + pineapple based multistoried agroforestry system for potato and brinjal production, respectively, which may considered as the best technique for higher production, crop diversification, and maximization of land use efficiency.
