Agroforestry is a science of integrated farming system that is trees, crops and animals on the same land unit. This system has a tendency to provide maximum production as they are able to tap solar radiation and soil more efficiently. The recent agroforestry system involves land use pattern in such a way so as to obtain maximum production of food, fuel, fodder and other products and provide greater financial return. This article briefly reviews about the concept of agroforestry, its arrangements, preferable species, crop combinations and cultivation practices by the Chhattisgarh farmers, and agroforestry potentials to uplift economics rural area of Chhattisgarh. This is an attempt to compile and document information on different aspect of agroforestry to minimize poverty and to meet the other basic requirements by rural people.Keywords

Acacia nilotica is truly multipurpose nitrogen fixing leguminous tree in India commonly called as babul and is a source of Indian gum arabic. It is a complex species with nine subspecies, of which six are native to the African tropics and three others are native to the Indian subcontinent. It is considered as a very important economic plant since early times as a source of tannins, gums, timber, fuel, fodder and medicine. Gum is widely used as industrial, food and medicinal purposes. This article briefly reviews the botany, distribution, ecology and environment, improved techniques of gum extraction, its uses and properties. This is an attempt to compile and document information on different aspect of Acacia nilotica and its potential uses.Keywords

Climate change is a burning issue of the world. Increasing of CO2 by industrialization, fossil fuel burning, etc can cause a subtle change in global climate. Green house gases include CO2, N2O, CH4, and CFC etc are foremost region behind global warming leads to changing climate. Earth biodiversity is greatly affected by unusual climate leads to loss and degradation of natural resources and environment. Change in weather regime such as rainfall pattern causes flood and drought not only effects on agricultural production but also influence emergence of several cause emergence of infectious disease. Introduction of the resistance plant variety, mixed cropping, reforestation and agroforestry practices are major remedial measure to mitigate climate change which helps to uplift socioeconomic status of people. Therefore, it is an urgent need to apply intensified and scientific research on climate change-related issues, which result in improved understanding and management of plant diseases in the face of current and future climate extremes.Keywords
