Dear Jay,
Since Casurina varieties are normally planted in a narrow spacing of 2.5' x 3.5' or in some cases with even lower spacings of 2' x 3', please avoid long term / annaul crops for intercropping.
Only short duration crops like minor / major millets, Maize, Sun Flower and some Vegetables are ideal for intercropping.
AVOID INTERCROPS ONCE THE CASUARINA ATTAINS THE AGE OF 6 MONTHS.

Regards,
Vishnu Sankar
