dc.description.abstractThe present study was conducted in Ludhiana district to find out the socio-economic impact of agroforestry and non-agroforestry adopters. From the Ludhiana district, 52 agroforestry and 52 non-agroforestry adopters were selected for the present study. The social and economic profile of the farmers was evaluated by asking them to fill a questionnaire and personal interviews. The impact of socio-economic factors was assessed adopting standard methodology. Result pertaining to adoption of agroforestry revealed that major part (48.08%) of adopters were graduate or above, mass media exposure was higher (82.69%) among adopters and operational land holdings were also large (36.53%). The other social factors like family type, extension contacts, residential area, livestock and presence of physical assets also reported differences among adopters and non-adopters. The economic analysis of poplar with wheat as intercrop in agroforestry system was more economical than pure cropping system during 2012-2017 except 2016 when high fluctuation in price of poplar was reported (Rs. 450 per quintal or less). Annuity value and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of agroforestry system was calculated to be higher than pure cropping system, during the year 2017, the BCR of agroforestry system was 4.32 whereas it was 3.31 for pure agriculture cropping system.en_US
