Abstract
On-farm experiment was conducted in the village Badarpursaid of Faridabad district in Haryana to assess the various intercrop combination in the lemon orchard during 2011 to 2014. The lemon variety Baramasi (Citrus limon) was planted in the area of 2,000 sq. m. in the year 2011. During rabi 2011 to rabi 2013–14, different crops like winter vegetables (cabbage and cauliflower), summer crops as muskmelon and fodder maize and kharif crops of maize (cob and fodder) and fodder sorghum were grown as intercrop in the orchard.
