Abstract: A field experiment was conducted with linseed under Poplar during Rabi season of 2018 at crop Research Farm, Department of Silviculture & Agroforestry, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P.). An approach to land use that incorporates trees into farming systems, and allows for the production of trees and crops or livestock from the same piece of land in order to obtain economic, ecological, environmental and cultural benefits. Fast growing energy plant and trees such as poplar are characterized by short-term growth and weight gain significantly exceeding the average growth of other plant during the growing period. Use of vermicompost for crop growth is in focus in recent researches, but the response to the application of vermicompost had been specific to each plant species and the stage of growth. Such as unbalance continuous application of limited fertilizers both in the amount and type may aggravate the depletion of other important nutrients such as K, Mg, Ca, S and micro-nutrients not supplied by the chemical fertilizer and may also lead to chemical soil degradation. The treatment comprised of FYM 100%, NPK 100%, VC 100%, NPK 50%, FYM 50%, VC 50%, NPK 75%, FYM 75%, VC 75%, NPK 125%, FYM 125%, VC 125% under Poplar based Agroforestry. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The result Showed that maximum dry per plant weight, 1000 Fruit weight (g), Grain yield, straw yield were recorded at harvesting. The treatment (T₁₁) with application of (FYM 125%) showed the significant superiority in giving. These parameters were significantly influenced by different sources and doses of organic and inorganic fertilizer. However, Poplar based Agroforestry system could be rank based on economic performance of linseed also recorded in treatment T₁₁ (FYM 125%).
