This document summarizes a study on intercropping green grams with Melia volkensii trees in semi-arid eastern Kenya. The study found that green gram yields were 75% of monocropped yields with a tree spacing of 6m by 6m, providing both food and tree products. Over two seasons, the 6m by 6m spacing resulted in the highest tree height and diameter as well as green gram yields. While intercropping provided benefits, challenges included intermittent droughts and difficulties propagating Melia volkensii. Continued research is needed to determine the optimal long-term tree spacing to maximize both crop and tree yields.
