Not AvailableTHE AUTHORS DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF A STUDY CARRIED OUT AT DEHRADUN DURING 1993-94 TO ASSESS THE CONSERVATION FOR CONTROLLING EFFICIENCIES OF FIVE GRASS SPECIES IN BOULDERY RIVERBED LANDS. AMONG VARIOUS GRASSES , SACCHARUM MUNJA SHOWED BEST PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO CLUMP DIAMETER., LATERAL ROOT SPREAD , VERTICAL ROOT LENGTH, TOTAL NUMBER OF ROOTS , OVEN DRY ROOT AND AERIAL BIOMASS . WHILE OTHER SPECIES SHOWED THEIR DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE FOR DIFFERENT ROOT AND SHOOT PARAMETERS. IN GENERAL , THE PERCENTAGE ROOT BIOMASS DECREASED WITH INCREASING SOIL DEPTH IN ALL THE SPECIES. THOUGH THE TOTAL ROOT BIOMASS WAS ONE OF THE LOWEST IN EULALIOPSIS BINATA , IT WAS MAXIMUM IN UPPER SOIL HORIZON (0-30cm ) , HOWEVER , THE TREND WAS REVERSE IN CASE OF S MUNJA. THE SOIL BINDING VALUE WAS ALSO THE HIGHEST IN S . MUNJA ( 307.2) FOLLOWED BY PANICUM MAXIMUM (254.3) , E. BINATA ( 222.6) , CHRYSOPOGON FULVUS (156.9) AND MINIMUM IN ARUNDO DONAX (59.1)Not Availabl

Not AvailableRESULTS OF A DIAGNOSTIC SURVEY CONDUCTED TO HAVE AN APPRAISAL OF EXISTING LANDUSE SYSTEMS AND AGROFORESTRY PRACTICES IN NORTH- WESTERN PLAINS OF UTTAR PRADESH ARE ANALYSED AND DISCUSSED . THE MAJOR FARMING CONSTRAINTS WERE IDENTIFIED AND POSSIBLE AGROFORESTRY (AF) INTERVENTIONS SUGGESTED. FARMERS SHOWED GREAT INTEREST FOR AGRI- HORTI FOLLOWED BY AGRI- HORTI- SILVI SYSTEMS OF AF ALONG WITH LIVESTOCK COMPONENT LIKE DAIRY, GOAT REARING ( FOR MEAT AND MILK) AND VEGETABLES FOR IMMEDIATE CASH. SOME OF THE REMUNERATIVE TREE SPECIES FOR INTEGRATION IN DESIGNING AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS ( AFS) IDENTIFIED ARE MANGIFERA INDICA, PSIDIUM GUAJAVA, CITRUS SPP, CARICA PAPAYA, DALBERGIA SISSOO, SIZYGIUM CUMINII, EUCALYPTUS HYBRID AND POPULUS SPP. INTEGRATION OF LIVESTOCK COMPONENT APPEARED TO BE MOST REMUNERATIVE AND THEREFORE, TO MITIGATE FODDER REQUIREMENTS , GRASSES, PALATABLE FODDER CROPS AND TOP FEED TREE SPECIES ARE NEEDED TO BE INTEGRATED IN THE SYSTEM. FOR IMPROVING PRODUCTION POTENTIAL OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS , THE SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL. BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC SURVEY, POSSIBLE, AF AND NON- AF INTERVENTIONS ARE SUGGESTED TO DESIGN A SYSTEM. FOR IMPROVING THE VIABILITY OF THE SYSTEM FURTHER. THE FUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS ARE ALSO SUGGESTED.Not Availabl
