Abstract Innovative practices like combining agroforestry with organic mulch can store carbon and enhance crop yields by regulating soil temperature, improving soil health and moisture. A study was conducted during 2022–23 in the mid-hills of the North-western Himalayas to evaluate the productivity of turmeric plants grown under different densities of Melia composita Willd. The research… Continuar leyendo Evaluation of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) productivity and economics under Melia composita Willd. based agroforestry system in the mid-hills of Northwestern Himalayas: Effects of tree spacing and use of vegetative mulch
