Godara, A.K.Sirswal, Ekta2016-10-052016-10-052014http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/79950The study was conducted in Kaithal and Yamuna Nagar districts of Haryana state during the year 2013-14. These districts were randomly selected. A total number of 120 respondents practiced Agro-forestry constituted the sample of the study. The information about respondents’ socio-personnel traits, attitude of respondents towards Agro-forestry, problems and prospects regarding Agro-forestry adoption were collected with the help of structured interview schedule. The study indicated that there were 54.2% of respondents who had high attitude towards Agro-forestry. Respondents have their own criteria for testing which species are suitable for improving soil fertility, availability of fodder, and fuel wood requirements. Pertaining to the prospects of Agro-forestry there were 64.2% of respondents who believed to have medium prospects such as technical prospects, economical prospect, social prospects, ecological prospects and entrepreneurial prospects regarding Agro-forestry. The study conducted on problems encountered by the respondents in adoption of Agro-forestry revealed that there were 56.7% of respondents who believed to had medium problems regarding Agro-forestry adoption such as financial, technical, production, input management and other problems. For the best results from this practice or to maintain the sustainability measures are required to overcome lack of planting materials (seeds, seedlings or cuttings) and respondents should select well suitable or compatible trees. The study further indicated that a significant majority of the respondents had not adopted the recommended Agroforestry practices. Therefore, it would be worthwhile for the government functionaries to organize training, demonstration and take up appropriate educational programs so that the respondents can get required information and skills to adopt the new methods and practices time to time.enBacteria, Economic systems, Animal husbandry, Acidity, Productivity, Amino acids, Genes, Enzymes, Plasmids, Developmental stagesThesis
