Concept of high density plantation has become extremely significant to increase fruit yield and productivity in small as well as scattered land. Amrapali cultivar of mango showed good performance in terms of yield and quality. Under high density plantation system, in Amrapali cultivar, maximum productivity and profitability was obtained. The plantation with normal density plantation fetches net return of Rs. 244800 per ha, whereas, plantation with high density obtained Rs. 532700 per ha. The net return per nail in HDP in lower hills is more than double the traditional method and this profit may be fetched four years earlier. The high net return is due to high density plantation and late season harvesting in lower hills. Mango is harvested in this area in first fortnight of August when the mango of plain area is almost over. Therefore, off season production fetches more returns as compared to main mango season.
