Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the diameter patterns of a 5-year old Karas planted in three different components of agroforestry systems that is 1 Karas monoculture 2 Karas intercropped with lemongrass and 3 Karas intercropped with guava. Three replications of plots measuring at 6 m x 5 m were established for each component. Each plot consisted of 90 Karas trees. The diameter at breast height DBH of Karas trees was measured in each plot. The means of tree DBH three plots were 5.74 4.23 and 6.65 cm respectively. There was significant difference in the mean DBH of the Karas trees. The Karas DBH intercropped with guava greater than those of the other two components. This could be due to the intercropping effects of Karas with different components of agroforestry system. The results from this study will be used for subsequent investigation in the assessments of growth performance of Karas under different intercropping components.
