A field experiment was conducted in mound plantations of Dalbergia sissoo and Eucalyptus camaldulensis on water logged-sodic site. Experimental site was poor in soil nutrients (N, P and K), experiencing waterlogging for the period of 100 to 150 days in a year. Experiment consisted five treatments viz. (1) control, (2) 50 g urea, (3) 50 g each of urea and single super phosphate, (4) 50 g each of urea, single super phosphate and muriate of potash and (5) 5 g each of urea, single usper phosphate, muriate of potash and 10 g of zinc suilphate per plant in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Species did not respond for application of single super phosphate. Application of urea and muriate of potash in Dalbergia sissoo resulted for insignificant higher survival and heigbht of plants. Eucalyptus camaldulensis showed significantly higher height from one year to three years of fertilizer application but level of resonse declined with the increase of plant age. Effect of fertilizer application for increasing volume index was, however, increasing.- Assessment of Important Trees Outside forests (TOF) in Gorakhpur District of Uttar Pradesh

A study has been undertaken to assess the number of six important tree species including teak (Tectona grandis), mango (Mangifera indica), babool (Acacia nilotica), neem (Azadirachta indica), kathal (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) outside forests in rural areas of district Gorakhpur. Out of 3327 villages of Gorakhpur district, 66 villages (2%) were taken for the study. Number of trees on the basis of diameter classes was recorded in selected villages of respective tehsils. A total of 6,71,852 trees of teak, 4,83,876 trees of mango, 99,053 trees of neem, 36748 trees of kathal, 2,88,995 trees of shisham and 68,909 trees of babool were enumerated in different diameter classes. It was found that babool and kathal trees were very less as compared to other species. Thus, introduction of these species in large areas/private land of farmers may be a viable option for minimizing demand-supply gap as well as to increase the tree cover.Keywords

The study was conducted in selected villages (1%) of Varanasi district of Eastern plain region of Uttar Pradesh in India during the year 2018 to record the crop combinations with tree species and their stratified arrangement to identify agroforestry practices. The socio-economic studies based on general village profile, land holding, land use pattern and tree species planting pattern were performed in 12 villages representing eight blocks to collect the data with structured questionnaire and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tools. The results demonstrated that a total of nine different agroforestry practices, silvi-horticulture, agrisilviculture, agri-horticulture, aqua-silviculture, agri-silvi-horticulture, agri-silvi-pastoral, silvi-pastoral, silvi-medicinal and homestead existed in different villages. Out of different categories, timber, fruits, medicinal, agriculture, flower and other plant species were recorded. It was recorded that out of existing agroforestry practices, scattered near farms and around homestead was found most common (about 47.0 %). The benefits from agro forestry practices in the villages was also assessed and ranked in their order of preferences in respective blocks of district. The different benefits as shade, fruits/vegetables, timber, protection, firewood, soil erosion, medicinal and fodder were scored from 1 to 8. The status of tree plantation in different area was also studied and found trees of mango were most abundant (33.1%), it was noticed that old mango trees were of deshi variety but new trees were mostly of kalmi variety for fruits. The Neem trees were recorded (25.5 %) followed by shisham (9.5 %) and teak (14.0 %). It was concluded from the results that status of agro forestry in the studied zonal area of the region is in developing stage and needs to be improved by imparting technical knowledge about planting material, methods and sale of end produces of trees to the farmers and tree growers.Keywords
