Abstract

An experiment on silvipastoral system was conducted for three consecutive years (1996 to 1998) in slightly slopy, red lateritic culturable wasteland. Six popular tree species (viz. Eucalyptus tereticornis, Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia nilotica, Dalbergia sissoo, Samanea saman, and Albizia lebbeck) differed significantly on growth of plant height (PH), and Girth at shoulder height (GSH). Eucalyptus tereticornis showed maximum growth of PH and GSH followed by Acacia auriculiformis. Fodder yield of Dinanath grass in two cuts was highest under the tree canopy of Dalbergia sissoo followed by Samanea saman and lowest in the interspaces of Eucalyptus tereticornis.
