Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to assess the productivity and profitability of
Moringa-Red Amaranth based agrisilvicultural farming system at the
Agroforestry Field under the Department of Agroforestry and Environmental
Science, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University during the period from 1
December 2020 to January 2021. Four treatments namely, T
= 30 cm distance
from the tree base, T
2
= 50 cm distance from the tree base, T
ii
1
= 75 cm distance
from the tree base and T
4
3
= Open field referred to as control, were used in
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The highest leaf length (9.30
cm) and breadth (6.17 cm) were found in T
treatment. The maximum yield of
red amaranth (14.25 t/ha) was observed in T
4
treatment. Apart from control, the
highest fresh weight (37.00 g), dry weight (1.13 g) and yield (12.69 ton ha

)
were also obtained in T
treatment. Thus, it revealed that in association with
Moringa sapling the best yield performance of red-amaranth was found at the
plants belong to treatment T
3
. In Moriga based agroforestry system calculated
BCR was 6.48 found in T
3

treatment.
