520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc To study the feasibility of intercropping rubber with tea, an experiment was conducted at Regional Experiment Station, Nagarkata (West Bengal) during the year 1999. During the first three years of the experimentation, it was observed that rubber and tea were growing well without competing with each other for space, nutrients and soil moisture. Maximum growth (22.16 cm) of rubber was observed in the treatment where rubber was planted at a spacing of 12m x 2.4m along with tea at normal spacing (100 cm x 60 cm). However, in pure rubber plots at normal spacing, growth of rubber was low (16.83 cm). It may be due to irrigation given to ea plants in the mixed cropping ssytem. Tea plants were growing well in all the treatments.
