Multi-Storied Orchard

Eg: Coconut+Black pepper+cocoa+pineapple.
Arecanut+Vanilla+Banana+Pinapple.

• The principle involved in multistoried orchard is harvesting light at different height/story.

• The planting should be such that sunlight is harvested by different crops at different stories/levels/height and there won’t be any competition for soil nutrients, moisture and sunlight because the spread and distribution of roots at different crop component is distributed in different layers of the soil profile.
