Abstract
An experiment was conducted during rainy season of 1991 and 1992 to st udy the effect of subabul [Leucaena leucoceohala (Lamk) deWit.] on the yield of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloha (L.) Taubert] and sesam e (Sesame indicum L.) and on Leucaena itself. Association of Leucaena adversely affected the grain production of field crops with advancemen t in the age and canopy. The reduction in grain yield was minimum when Leucaena was topped at 1.50 m over central leader system, open centre system and no lopping system. The reduction in pod, seed, fodder and fuelweed production of Leucaena was minimum under no lopping condition s compared with open centre system, central leader system and topping at 1.50 m.
