“…Overall the economics of agroforestry system was appreciably higher than sole cropping. The higher return from agroforestry systems in comparison to sole cropping has been reported in coconut based farming system intercropped with rice, millet, grain legumes, oilseed crops, root crops, banana, pineapple and chillies (Das, 1991), sunflower, pigeon pea and pearl millet raised in Leucaena leucocephala and E. hybrid (Ramshe et al, 1994), coconut with ginger, turmeric and colocasia (Sharma et al, 1996), sorghum, groundnut and grass grown under teak and subabul (Mutanal et al, 2006), arable crops like maize, paddy fodder maize and sunhemp raised in horticultural crop sapota and silvicultural crops like E. tereticornis, Albizia molucana, C. equisetifolia, T. grandis and Dalbergia sissoo (Patil et al, 2010), poplar (P. deltoides) based agroforestry system (Jain and Singh, 2000), pearl millets and toria (Brassica tournefortii) in Khejri (Kaushik and Kumar, 2003) and coconut and guava based multistoried agroforestry system with medicinal crop like Aloe indica, Asparagus racemosus and Kaempferia angustifolia (Bari and Rahim, 2012 …”

Productivity and nutrient cycling in young Acacia senegal farming systems on Vertisol in the Blue Nile region, Sudan

et al. 2006

Acacia senegal, the gum arabic-producing tree, is the most important component of traditional dryland agroforestry systems in the Sudan. The spatial arrangement of trees and the type of agricultural crop used influence the interaction between trees and crops. Tree and crop growth, gum and crop yields and nutrient cycling were investigated over a period of 4 years. Trees were grown at 5 · 5 m and 10 · 10 m spacing alone or in mixtures with sorghum or sesame. No statistically significant differences in sorghum or sesame yields between the intercropping and control treatments were observed (mean values were 1.54 and 1.54 t ha -1 for sorghum grain and 0.36 and 0.42 t ha -1 for sesame seed in the mixed and mono-crop plots, respectively). At an early stage of agroforestry system management, A. senegal had no detrimental effect on crop yield; however, the pattern of resource capture by trees and crops may change as the system matures. A significant positive relationship existed between the second gum picking and the total gum yield. The second gum picking seems to be a decisive factor in gum production and could be used as an indicator for the prediction of the total gum yield. Soil organic carbon, N, P and K contents were not increased by agroforestry as compared to the initial levels. Soil OC was not increased by agroforestry as compared to sole cropping. There was no evidence that P increased in the topsoil as the agroforestry plantations aged. At a stocking density of 400 trees ha -1 (5 · 5 m spacing), A. senegal accumulated in its biomass a total of 18.0, 1.21, 7.8 and 972 kg ha -1 of N, P, K and OC, respectively. Agroforestry contributed ca. 217 and 1500 kg ha -1 of K and OC, respectively, to the top 25-cm of soil during the first four years of intercropping.

“…Prosopis is able to improve the soil in which it is growing by means of biological nitrogen fixation, leaf litter accumulation, nutrient pumping from deeper soil layers, loosening of a hard soil structure, stabilizing of loose sands, and an increase of the fauna above and below the ground (Kaushik and Kumar, 2003).…”

The current study was done to examine the impact of ambient air pollution on some biological factors in Prosopis juliflora plants using two sites; control and polluted (around one of the oil fields in south west of Iran). Various morphological and biochemical characteristics of the plants were studied in both sites and compared with each other. Plants exposed to pollution showed lower leaf area, petiole length, chlorophylls, carotenoids and soluble carbohydrate contents as compared to plants growing in control site. Proline levels in polluted leaves significantly increased (p < 0.01), suggesting the activation of protective mechanism in these plants under air pollution stress, and also the observed responses are regarded as adaptive and compensative to the adverse effects of air pollution.
