Productivity and Carbon Sequestration under Prevalent Agroforestry Systems in Navsari District, Gujarat (India)

Performance of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) under Different Spatial Arrangements of Melia composita Based Agroforestry System

“…Agroforestry is a dynamic, ecologically based natural resource management system, through which the integration of trees/woody perennials in farm and rangelands, diversifies and sustains production for increased social, economic and environmental benefits (Leakey, 1996;Bhusara et al, 2017a and b;Kumar et al, 2017b;Panchal et al, 2017). Intercropping of vegetable with commercial tree species in initial stages is desirable for economic gain and additional income to the farmers (Bhusara et al, 2016a;Thakur et al, 2016;Mohanty et al, 2017).…”

Growing Eucalypt Outside its Native Range: A Review on Suitability and Beneficial Role

“…In another study shown that, the E. tereticornis clones planted in water logging site of Haryana (strip planted) sequestrate total carbon of 15.5 t ha -1 after the age of 5 years 4 months (Ram et al, 2011). In case of agroforestry systems, the carbon sequestration was studied in Navsari, Gujarat by Panchal et al (2017) and reported maximum above ground (34.05 t ha -1 ), below ground (8.85 t ha -1 ) and total (42.90 t ha -1 ) carbon under eucalypt in agri-silvi-culture system (Eucalyptus+Spider lily) followed by Mango and Teak in agri-silvi-horticulture system (Mango+Teak+Brinjal) with 3.63, 1.37, 5.0 t ha -1 of aboveground, belowground and total carbon, respectively.…”
