Optimum rotation of harvest for Poplars in farmlands under agroforestry A.N. Chaturvedi
Subject(s): In: The Indian Forester 118, no. 2 (1992),pp. 81 - 88Summary: The paper gives an account of a case study of Poplar grown by a farmer in December, 1983. Poplars have been successfully incorporated in agroforestry plantations in U.P., Haryana and Punjab. Some of the clones successful are G-3, G-48, D-121, ST-67 etc. The spacing of 5x5 m has given good results and closer than 4x4 m have not produced desired results. The results of case study shows that highest IRR is obtainable in the fourth year and the IRR goes down in 7th year. A rotation of 4 years is viable for Poplar where there is local demand for small size. It is, however, expected that increasing use of Poplar wood will push up the price for large size trees and profitability will increase for rotations of 9 years or more.| Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
