Abstract

The persent study deals with the status and patterns of agroforestry practices in Tarai region of Kumaun. The study was made in three villages (Narayanpur, Ganeshpur and Gangapur) of Udham Singh Nagar District lying between 28.90 N latitude and 79.40 E longitude. Among the trees planted poplar is most preferred species. Study of agroforestry patterns reveals that bund planting is predominant in the areas following with wayside and field plantations. In these villages 100% farmers have adopted agroforestry practices thereby reducing pressure on the surrounding natural forests.
