| dc.description.abstract | Thesis Title : “Vegetation analysis, Management practices and Socioeconomic status of Traditional agroforestry systems along with elevations in Sursingdhaar region of district Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India” The present investigation was conducted in six sites in the Sursingdhaar region of the district Tehri Garhwal of Uttarakhand with three elevation range i.e., 500-1000 m, 1000-1500 m and 1500-2000 m amsl in order to assess the various agroforestry systems, socioeconomic status as well as various management techniques utilised in the traditional agroforestry systems. The data regardingwas obtained through questionnaire survey and field visits from each study village. Agri-silviculture, agri-silvi-horticulture, silvopastoral and homegarden systems were discovered to be prevalent in the study area. The agri-silviculture system consists of 15 shrub species, 14 woody perennial species and 17 agriculture crop species. Agri-silvi-horticulture system comprised of 14 forest trees species, 13 horticulture trees, 17 agriculture crops and 22 species of vegetables. Silvopastoral system included 14 tree species, 15 shrub and 12 grass species. In the homegarden system 7 fruit species, 22 vegetable and 9 multipurpose tree species were recorded. The different components of agroforestry systems required proper management practices. Lopping was the most widely used management technique employed for forest trees by 82.22% of households and for horticulture trees harvesting was most widely followed management practice by 80.00%. For management of agriculture crops, practices such as irrigation, manuring, weeding, land preparation, harvesting and storage of crops were followed maximum by 84.44% households. The socio-economic status of study villages revealed that the majority of respondents (51.45%) were female. Most of the respondents (31.85%) were middle aged with 47.44% having education up to 8th. The bulk of respondents (72.22%) belong to small family size. The majority of respondents (70%) were residing in pakka houses with 43.33% dependent on farming as their main source of income. The maximum of households (62.22%) had 10-15 nali land holdings and the respondents owned a total of 222 livestock. It was revealed that majority of respondents (63.33%) had annual income Rs. ≤1,20,000. The current study reveals that established agroforestry systems in the study region are crucial for upliftment of the socioeconomic status of the respondents. Furthermore, a farmer's socioeconomic status influences the management strategies he or she is going to employ. | |
