Farm Questions

Hi Experts,

We have planned Mango (Banganapalli & Alphonso variety mixed) in 2 acre. Spacing between the plants are plant*plant is 17feet and row * row is 19 feet. Planting is done just a week before.

Now, am thinking of to intercrop single guava plant(Lucknow-49) in between 4 mango plants. But am not sure how both respond to each other regarding growth, yield, etc… .

So experts, please advice to proceed with.

Thanks
