| dc.description.abstract | The present experiment was conducted on the “Evaluation and impact of agroforestry systems on socio – economic condition of Kanke Block of Ranchi District” with the objectives 1. To study the growth performance and yield of tree species in existing agroforestry practices. 2. To determine the soil fertility status at the agroforestry sites. 3. To assess the socio economic impacts of existing agroforestry practices on farmers. The study was carried out four villages of Kanke Block these villages are Manha (Panchayat – Malsring), Marwa (Panchayat – Upperkonki), Patratu (Panchayat – Urguttu) and Pithoria village (Panchayat – Pithoria). The data were recorded for various parameter like Population profile, Caste profile, Family structure, Literacy status, Livestock and Poultry status, House hold status, Land holding status, land use pattern, dependency on forest (Fuelwood and Fodder consumption pattern, annual income from agroforestry). The soil properties such as pH, Organic carbon percent, Available N, P, K were estimated in the laboratory. Data on height, diameter and volume of slow, medium and fast growing trees of selected villages of Kanke Block were recorded. Economics from tree and crop and yield of agricultural and horticultural crop under agroforestry system were calculated. Population of male was found maximum in selected villages (35.45%) and minimum in child (31.69%). In general the trends of different caste profile were in the order of OBC (50%) followed by S.T (40%), SC (10%) and general (0%). In household status, Nuclear family was 56.25% and Joint family was 43.75%. Literacy status was found in order as Primary to high school (31.32%) > Primary level (29%) > Matriculation to intermediate (21.11%) > Illiterate (17.63%). Land holding status of household were as follows medium (60.0%) > small (30.0%) > large (6.25%) > landless (3.75%). Agriculture (60.65%) and agrisilviculture (13.93%) were the important land use pattern followed by household in Kanke Block. Agriculture and Animal husbandry had been adopted by most of the working people in Kanke Block with their percentage 73.75 and 8.75. Fuel wood at domestic level had been consumed maximum by large farmers (41.9 q yrˉ1), followed by medium farmers (32.6 q yrˉ1) and least by small farmers (20.5 q yrˉ1). Consumption of fodder at domestic level was done maximum by large farmers (17.6 q yrˉ1), followed by medium farmers (16.8 q yrˉ1) and least by small farmers (16.1 q yrˉ1). Considerable improvement had taken place in soil, which was evident from the increased levels of Organic carbon, available N, P, K and pH value in agrisilvicultural system systems. The level of pH, Organic Carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium were found better under agroforestry system than sole crop, sole tree and barren land. Height, diameter and volume of Fast growing tree was found maximum in Leucaena leucocephala and minimum in Moringa oleifera. In medium growing trees, height, diameter and volume of trees was found maximum in Mangifera indica minimum in Pongamia pinnata. In slow growing trees height, diameter and volume of tree was found maximum in Ficus bengalensis and minimum in Tamarindus indica . In agrisilviculture system the yield of Oryza sativa and Zea mays were 23.75 q ha-1 and 20.1 q ha-1. Whereas yield of Zingiber officinale, Capsium annum and Colocasia schott were 3.72, 8.96, 3.8 q ha-1 respectively in agrihorticulture system. The yield of Triticum aestivum, Brassica nigra, Pisum sativum and Solanum tuberosum were 19.76, 5.56, 9.28, 15.45 q ha-1 respectively under agrisilviculture system. The yield of Lycopersicon esculentum was 13.52 and 12.4 q ha-1 respectively in agrisilviculture and agrihorticulture system. The yield of Allium cepa and Solanum melongena was 9.88 and 4.85 q ha-1 respectively in agrihorticulture system. The maximum income in a year was found with the tree species Tectona grandis (Rs. 28,130.00) followed by Gmelina arborea (Rs. 24,370.00) and the minimum income was found in Azadirchta indica (Rs. 13,635.00). | en_US |
