The present study was conducted primarily to determine the economics of wheat crop with Forest vs Fruit trees and also to remove the fears of negative impact of forest trees on agricultural crops from the minds of the farmers for sound agroforestry base. Shisham and Mango trees both have negative impact on wheat crop. Shisham trees have non-significant (274 kgs) while mango trees have significant (873 kgs) reduction per hectare in grain yield of wheat and both tree species have 1192 and 2122 kg significant reduction per hectare in the production of wheat straw (Bhosa) respectively. Adverse effect was observed upto the distance double the tree height for both the species. The present study showed net income of Rs.192/hectare for shisham and net loss of Rs. 1205/-/hectare for Mango.
