Not AvailableSCIENTIFIC AGROFORESTRY HAS A HUGE POTENTIAL AND IS THE ONLY PRACTICAL SOLUTION WHICH WILL NOT ONLY HELP IN MEETING THE VARIOUS DEMANDS OF GROWING POPULATION IN SUSTAINABLE MANNER BUT WILL ALSO PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY. THE DIAGNOSTIC AND DESIGN (D+D) METHODOLOGY IS A RELIABLE TOOL FOR ARRIVING AT EFFECTIVE AGROFORESTRY SOLUTIONS TO MANY LAND USE PROBLEMS. RECENT EFFORTS AND ADVANCES MADE IN AGROFORESTRY RESEARCH FOR PRODUCTION AND SUSTENANCE IN THE LAST ONE AND HALF DECADE IN INDIA ARE BRIEFLY REVIEWED IN THIS PAPER AND FURTHER RESEARCH NEEDS ND APPROACHES HAVE BEEN ADVOCATED.Not Availabl

Not AvailableTHIS PAPER DEALS WITH LIGHT REQUIREMENT OF PLANTS , MANAGEMENT OPTIONS FOR ELIMINATING LIGHT STRES AND RESULTS OF A STUDY CONDUCTED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SHADE LOVING CROPS OF GINGER AND TURMERIC UNDER THE SHADE OF MULBERRY PLANTATIONS. RESULTS REVEALED THAT WHILE GINGER WAS CONFIRMED TO BE A SHADE- LOVING CROP, TURMERIC SHOWED INCREASED RHIZOME YIELD WITH INCREASING LIGHT LEVELS. IMPACT OF SHADE ON RHIZOME YIELDS OF BOTH THE CROPS WAS MORE PRONOUNCED IN MULCHED PLOTS THAN UNMULCHED PLOTS DUE TO FAVOURABLE SOIL ENVIRONMENT AND REDUCED MOISTURE AND NUTRIENT STRESS.Not Availabl

Not AvailableN THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE RESULTS OF A STUDY CONDUCTED AT SELAKUI ( DEHRADUN) DURING 1986-92 TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF PLANTING DIRECTION AND ROOT PRUNING OF TREES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CROPS, TREES AND IMPROVEMENT OF RAVINE LANDS. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NO ADVERSE EFFECT OF TREES ON CROP YIELDS UPTO THREE YEARS. AFTERWARDS REDUCTION IN YIELDS NEAR THE EUCALYPTUS TREE LINE WAS RECORDED IN BOTH CEREALS AS WELL AS OIL SEEDS. TRENCHED PLOTS WHERE TREE ROOTS WERE PRUNED RECORDED HIGHER YIELDS NEAR TREE/CROP INTERFACE BY 31.2 , 37.4, 51.0 AND 51.4 % IN MAIZE , WHEAT , SESAME AND TORIA RESPECTIVELY. EAST- WEST ASPECT RECORDED 18.8% HIGHER WHEAT YIELDS DUE TO BETTER LIGHT AVAILABILITY. PRUNING OF ROOTS SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED TREE GROWTH. BAUHINIA PURPUREA WAS FOUND MORE COMPATIBLE WITH CROPS THAN GREWIA OPTIVA. AFTER 7 YEARS OF PLANTATION, THERE WAS REDUCTION IN SOIL pH BY 0.3 UNITS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN ORGANIC CARBON BY 0.15% AND DECREASE IN BULK DENSITY AND IMPROVEMENT IN WATER HOLDING CAPACITY IN SUCH DEGRADED LANDS.Not Availabl

ON CLASS V BOULDERY LAND AT THE RESEARCH FARM SELAKUI DEHRADUN. IN SYSTEMATIC PLUS SHAPED EXPERIMENT , REDUCTION IN CROP YIELDS NEAR EUCALYPTUS HYBRID TREE LINE (0-2 m SEGMENT) WAS FOUND AND BEYOND THAT YIELDS WERE OBSERVED TO BE NORMAL.Not Availabl
