Profitable agriculture could be achieved through diversified farming system. High economic return could be obtained only with the inclusion of animal husbandry. Border row horticulture system is recommended in the intensive fodder production system. The study was conducted during 2017-2018 in field no.23. Cumbu Napier hybrid grass was cultivated as per cultivation techniques. Coconut and Jack fruit trees were maintained as borders rows of Cumbu Napier hybrid grass. As per the study, it could be concluded that the yield of Cumbu Napier Hybrid grass was significantly increased in open system to the tune of 5.96 percent compared to the treatment (with boarder rows of coconut). This might be due to shading effect of nine years old coconut palm. Whereas, in Jackfruit boarder row system there is no significant reduction in the yield of Cumbu Napier Hybrid grass. Hence, boarder row system of Jackfruit with regular pruning interval of three months could be recommended in the agroforestry system.
