Traditional Agroforestry is very common in Chhattisgarh with forest tree crops, now fruit tree crops are introduced to increase the farmer’s income. Hence the current on farm study was conducted under mango plantation of 28m x 28m spacing, where wheat (var; Sarbati) crop was cultivated as traditional agri-horticulture system in plains of Chhattisgarh at Pikridih village of Raipur district in Chhattisgarh for two years (2017-19). The growth performance and yield of wheat under different set of treatments viz., T-1 (centre of four trees), T-2 (north-south stands), T-3 (east –west stands) was recorded along with open field (T-4) having variable microclimatic status. Growth parameter and yield of wheat crop was found significantly maximum in open field crop than treatments under mango plantations and it was 4.5, 5.0 and 7.6 % higher from T-1 T-2 and T-3 respectively. The yield of grain and husk was 11.01 and 8.95 q ha-1 in crop of open field. The micro climatic features available to growing wheat crops at different locations had very little variations but they were found to be very effective under traditional agri-horticulture system.
