To improve the growth and yield of Acacia nilotica Linn. (Babul) a study was conducted using genetically superior elite trees. The study revealed that the selected traits viz. plant height, basal diameter, number of branches and volume were highly significant which indicate higher variability among half-sibs. Further, regression analysis revealed that the half-sibs of TNPKM1 and KRKL2 are best and may be utilized for future breeding programmes. Overall study implies that the traits like plant height, basal diameter and number of branches have maximum influence on volume, hence the traits will be useful in selecting Acacia nilotica trees for agroforestry development programmes.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to screen suitable 'aonla' cultivars for agri-horti system and quantify low cost moisture conservation practice as weed mulch for aonla grown on wasteland of Doon Valley at Indo-Italian Fruit Development Project at Dhakrani, Dehradun. The four cultivars of aonla with three levels of weed mulch in urd-toria crop rotation were tested on degraded lands of Doon Valley. NA-7 cultivar of aonla was recorded maximum fruit yield (59.8 kgtree-1 ), grain yield of Urd (6.1 qha-1 ), Toria (4.5 qha-1 ) and canopy volume (78.5 m3 ) on such land followed by Chakaiya which attained -1canopy volume (90.2 m3 ), fruit yield (58.1 kg tree-1 ) with minimum grain yield of 'urd' (5.76 qha-1 ) and 'toria' (4.54 qha-1 ). NA-7 observed maximum fruit size (43.76 g) followed by NA-10 whereas Chakaiya produced maximum vitamin-C (561.73 mg 100 g fruit-1 ) and TSS (21.62 %). Weed mulch applied @ 20 kg tree had conserved more moisture and influenced growth and yield attributes in all the cultivars as compared to control plot significantly. Economically, NA-7 is better for intercropping with urd-toria crop rotation as compared to Chakaiya, NA-10 and NA-6. Hence, it is concluded that NA-7 cultivar of aonla is most suited for agrihorti system on degraded lands due to less canopy volume and good returns from the system.Keywords
