In this study, Leucaena leucocephala was introduced in the traditional agriculture system and total six systems viz., cereal-cereal, pulse-cereal, agri-pastoral, agri-silvipastoral, agri-horti-pastoral and vegetable-vegetable were evaluated for livelihood security of farmers under rainfed...

Forestry issues and challenges in terms of ecosystem conservation and management has been a debatable topic over the years. Protected area such as biosphere reserves, national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are facing unpredictable pressure of global issues such as environmental degradation,...

Oak (Q. leucotrichophora) are the oldest forest in temperate region of Himalaya and grow in wide altitudinal ranges. Oak provides various ecosystem services and conserved soil and water and sustained the Himalayan agriculture for subsistence including storing and sequestering CO₂. The Oak forests...

High density subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) plantations are being raised in Punjab for biomass based electricity generation. An experiment was conducted at PAU Ludhiana to standardize the nutrient requirement of high density (1×1 m) plantation of subabul for its high biomass production. Six...

Agroforestry (AGF) is a reliable option to support the high demand for wood globally, particularly in India. This paper revolves around teak, a premier wood with a bright future globally and in India as a small-scale component of AGF. Due to better economic returns and low labour intensity,...

The undercutting and wrenching encourage development of fibrous roots network which plays an important role in successful establishment of bare-rooted seedling. The possibility of conditioning and hardening of bare-rooted Chukrasia tabularis seedlings by undercutting and wrenching was investigated. ...

This paper describes the major forest resource utilization by different tribes in Arunachal Pradesh, India which are classified as shifting cultivation, timber resources, fuelwood resources, fodder resources, food resources, fibre resources, wildlife resources, forest-based enterprises,...

Tectona grandis (teak) is one of the most important timber species worldwide and India is one of the major teak growing countries. Though some volume equations were developed for teak in India but the models developed were neither evaluated using robust statistical criteria nor validated. Hence,...

Tectona grandis (teak) is one of the most important tropical timber species occurring naturally in India. In India, teak is the single most important commercial timber species. Scientifically sound growth models, based on advanced modelling techniques, are often not available, although they are...
