Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rainy season of 1991 and 1992 to st udy the effect of subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) canopy management practic es and crop geometries on seed yield, quality and nitrogen uptake of cluste rbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) crops. Topping at 1.50 m system of subabul canopy management gave significa ntly more yield and better quality of produce. Maximum uptake of nitrogen w as also noted under the same system compared with central leader system, op en centre system and no lopping conditions.
