Biomass productivity of different horticulture based agroforestry systems in North-Western Himalayas

Abstract

The study was carried out to know about the biomass productivity of different horticulture based agroforestry systems in five altitudinal zones of North-Western Himalayas. Above ground, below ground as well as total biomass productivity of each zone with respect to the farmer’s category was calculated and also the data related to the crops in different agroforestry systems types was also recorded accordingly. The result showed that the medium farmer’s category is having high biomass production as compared to other farmer’s category which may be due to better management practices.
