Agroforestry: Systems and Practices

Synopsis Agroforestry is an age old practice throughout the world, but its recognition as a science is nearly three decades old. The scientific and systematic research on tree-crop interactions, in India, started in late 1970's and got major support and impetus with the establishment of All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Agroforestry by 1983 by ICAR. Today AICRP on Agroforestry has its network throughout the country. Under AICRP and through the individual efforts of State Agricultural Universities, location specific agroforestry systems has been recommended to suit agroclimatic zones, landholdings and economic status of the region. Though extensive research had been done till date, but it is not available to scientific world, farming communities (who are the backbone of Indian rural development), students and inquisitive readers in one manuscript. This prompted the authors to club the information on agroforestry systems and practices prevailing in India in the form of book. For the sake of convenience, agroforestry systems prevailing in India have been divided into four broad sections (i) Agroforestry in India (ii) Agroforestry system and practices in North, West and Central India (iii) Agroforestry systems and practices in East, North-East and Southern India (iv) Allied topics related to agroforestry. Section one cover topics covering agroforestry experiences, research and extension efforts done in the last 25 years in India. Section two includes 13 chapters and section three covers 14 chapters wherein agroforestry research vis-a-vis agroclimatic zones of different states of India have been discussed. The last section comprising of 8 chapters includes topics related to role of agroforestry in soil conservation, women development, management of agroforestry, modeling, rehabilitation of mine spoils and breeding of agroforestry tree species.
