Abstract

An experiment on Khejri (Prosopis cineraria) based silvipastoral system indicated higher fodder yield below the Khejri tree canopy which reduced sustainally in between the tree rows and in sole Dhaman grass (Cenchrus ciliaris). The study has shown an increase in organic carbon, available N, P, K content in Khejri based silvipastoral system over non-Khejri soil, advocating retention/plantation of Khejri trees in pasture land to higher fodder production and to meet requirement of food, fodder, fuel and small timber.
