A field experiment was carried out to estimate biomass production, carbon stock and economic performance of Melia dubia under agri-silviculture system. The grain yields of pearl millet were significantly lower under M. dubia plantations (852–2920 kg ha–1) compared to sole crop without trees (3182 kg ha–1). Maximum biomass production of 6-yr-old M. dubia planting was recorded as 74.9 t ha–1 and minimum was 53.9 t ha–1. Contribution of M. dubia to total carbon stock and carbon dioxide sequestration was observed in the range 27.0–37.5 and 98.9–137.5 t ha–1 respectively. The net returns obtained from the tree were lowest ( 116,134–182,885 ha–1) when compared to the tree + crop ( 139,953–209,650 ha–1) system. The lowest net returns were observed in sole crop without trees ( 27,351 ha–1). Thus, M. dubia plantations contributed towards higher carbon dioxide sequestration and economic performance of agri-silviculture system was higher compared to sole crop.Keywords

Climate change induced due to the magnitudinal rise in proportions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the environment has emerged as an indubitable concern across the globe. Hence, the impact of various organic forms of manure on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the soil and global warming potential (GWP) was studied in pearl millet + Melia dubia agri-silvi system. Replacing 25% of nitrogen with farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure and pongamia green leaf manure (PGLM) elevated CO2 emissions by 8.81%, 12.39%, 15.88% and N2O emissions by 47.5%, 49.8% and 55.8% respectively, compared to full recommended dose of fertilizer through neem-coated urea treatment. Also, 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) using neem-coated urea is effective in reducing GWP by 19% over 100% RDF through normal urea. GWP of all the treatments ranged from 1029 (unfertilized) to 1807 kg CO2 eq. ha–1 (sole crop without trees). The study also reported lower CO2 and N2O emissions under the tree compared to sole crop without trees, which suggests that agroforestry would reduce the overall GHG emissions. Also, use of organic manure along with inorganic fertilizers showed better carbon efficiency ratio and soil fertility status in spite of increase in GWP.Keywords
