      abstract = {An investigation was conducted at Borjona village of  Kapasia, Gazipur district during September 2011 to October  2012 to examine the biological performance of Indian  spinach and papaya in litchi based agroforestry system.  Papaya was planted between two litchi plants in each line  and Indian spinach varieties were grown in the inter-space  of two lines of litchi plant as well as control (farmer’s  practice) in May 2012. Yield and yield contributing  characters of Indian spinach varieties grown as  litchi-papaya based agroforestry system and control did not  vary. However, sprout plant-1 and sprout weight of Indian  spinach varieties grown in litchi-papaya based system were  significantly influenced while the other parameters did not  vary. Sprout plant-1 of KS green (2.97) and local (2.89)  variety were identical but higher over KS red variety  (2.57). Sprout weight of KS red variety was the highest  (85.80 g) while KS green and local variety gave lower and  identical sprout weight. Though the yield did not vary  among the varieties, KS red gave the highest yield (36.32 t  ha1) followed by local (34.61 t ha-1) and KS green (34.00 t  ha-1). In case of growth of litchi, plant height and stem  diameter increment were 21.39 and 44.94 % over the eleven  months observation period. The yield of papaya was quite  satisfactory with an average 42 fruits per plant with 23.71  t ha-1 . Therefore, in the Litchi-Papaya-Indian spinach  based system, Indian spinach varieties could be ranked as  KS red > Local> KS green.},
