| dc.description.abstract | The ‘Evaluation of agroforestry systems under Krishna water basin of Tumkur district’ of five taluks viz., Chikkanayakanahalli, Koratagere, Madhugiri, Pavagada and Sira were found five prominent agroforestry systems used by the farmers like Bund planting, Boundary planting, Scattered planting, Silvi-horticulture and Block plantation and about 35.56 per cent of total respondents has practicing more than one agroforestry systems, Amongst bund and boundary plantings were the major existing agroforestry systems practiced by the farmers in Krishna water basin of Tumkur district. The grain yields of finger millet in association with teak and neem were lower in agroforestry systems than sole cropping system. The carbon sequestration potential in agroforestry system was recorded very high in comparison to sole crop and trees in agroforestry systems accounted for 50-70 per cent higher carbon sequestration than the conventional agriculture. Tree number varied with farm holding size and kind of agroforestry systems was positively correlated. 19 tree species belonging to 10 families with 64 per cent being indigenous were recorded in the agroforestry systems with mean number of trees 51.87 ha-1. However, significantly higher number of trees per hectare was recorded with large farmer followed by medium farmer and small farmer. Tectona grandis was the most predominant species followed by Grevillea robusta, Azadirachta indica. The study also revealed that the majority of the tree species in agroforestry systems were used for timber followed by fodder and fruit whereas least importance was given for religious and ornamental species. | en_US |
