A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Centre for Agroforestry Forage Crops and Green Belt, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, (Gujarat) in a randomized block design during the Rabi season of 2010-11. The soil of the experimental field was low in nitrogen, medium in available phosphate and potash and alkaline (7.82) in reaction. The maximum plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest, branches plant-1, siliqua plant-1, test weight, seed, stover and total biomass yield of mustard as intercrop (1924.00, 4760.50 and 6684.50 kg ha-1) and higher oil content (39.91%) and oil yield (768.05 kg ha-1) were registered under the treatment of mustard sole with 100% RDF. But In simarouba tree maximum height, collar diameter, diameter at breast height, fresh and dry fruit weight (2221. 91 and 902.70 kg ha-1), above, below and total ground level weight in kg tree-1 (112.12, 22.42 and 134.54 kg tree-1) and t ha-1 (46.72, 9.34 and 56.06 t ha-1), oil content (56.57%) and oil yield (514.67 kg ha-1) noted under simarouba + mustard with 100% RDF.
