This study was conducted in 2009 at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India with Tectona grandis (teak), Gmelina arborea (gamhar) and forage crops such as Sudan grass (Sorghum sudanense) and Hybrid Napier grass (Pennisetum glaucum × Pennisetum purpureum) which were grown under silvipastoral system. Total biomass and total productivity potential of silvipastoral system were found highest with the combination of Tectona grandis and Hybrid Napier, i.e. 29.14 tonne ha–1 and 21.0 tonne ha–1 year–1 respectively, while minimum total biomass was found in sole Sudan grass (2.42 tonne ha–1) and maximum total productivity in T. grandis (2.09 tonne ha–1 year–1 ). The total carbon sequestration potential under silvipastoral system was maximum in T1: teak and Hybrid Napier grass (88.64 tonne ha–1) followed by T3: gamhar + Hybrid Napier (84.72 tonne ha–1), T2: teak + Sudan grass (77.68 tonne ha–1), and T4: gamhar + Sudan grass (77.42 tonne ha–1), while the minimum was found in T12: (33.38 tonne ha–1). Annual contribution of total litter production was 505.16 g m-2. Leaf litter in the species accounted for 95.40% and wood (branches and twigs) contributed 4.49% to total litter. The highest litterfall of 156.30 g m-2 was recorded in February followed by 151.72 g m-2 in January, while the least litterfall of 4.83 g m-2 was recorded in August.Keywords

We studied the growth performance of fast-growing trees, viz. Eucalyptus spp., Casuarina equisetifolia, Gmelina arborea and Melia dubia in high-density plantation in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, with different spacings, viz. 1×1 m, 1.2×1.2 m and 1.5×1.5 m. The experiment was established in July 2019 and data were recorded for the first and second year. In the second year maximum height increment was found in T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m; 3.42 m) followed by T5 (Eucalyptus 1.2×1.2 m; 3.40 m) and minimum in T2 (Casuarina 1×1 m; 1.39 m), whereas maximum girth increment was found in T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m; 12.43 cm) followed by T9 (Eucalyptus 1.5×1.5 m; 10.66 cm) and minimum in T6 (Casuarina 1.2×1.2 m; 6.46 cm). Maximum biomass in the first year was found in T6 (Casuarina 1.2×1.2 m; 15.51 t ha–1), followed by T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m; 14.71 t ha–1) and minimum in T12 (Melia 1.5×1.5 m; 0.66 t ha–1), whereas in the second year maximum biomass was found in T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m; 202.72 t ha–1), followed by T5 (Eucalyptus 1.2×1.2 m; 98.81 t ha–1) and minimum in T12 (Melia 1.5×1.5 m; 17.34 t ha–1). Carbon stock and carbon sequestration were maximum in the first year in T6 (Casuarina 1.2×1.2 m) followed by T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m) and minimum in Melia (1.5×1.5 m), with values of 7.75, 7.35, 0.33 t ha–1, and 28.42, 26.96, 1.21 t ha–1 respectively. Whereas in the second year maximum was found in T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m) followed by T5 (Eucalyptus 1.2×1.2 m) and minimum in T12 (Melia 1.5×1.5 m), with values of 101.36, 49.41, 8.67 t ha–1, and 371.59, 181.12 and 31.78 t ha–1 respectively. Maximum productivity was found in T1 (Eucalyptus 1×1 m; 188.01 t ha–1) followed by T5 (Eucalyptus 1.2×1.2 m; 89.88 t ha–1) and minimum in T12 (Melia 1.5×1.5 m; 16.68 t ha–1).Keywords
