Sericulture based agroforestry system has great potential to generate larger income in Uttarandlal with its hilly , valley and tarai conditions. It is a job oriented agrohased industry , partieularly for the below poverty lille farmers. Uttaranchal has a long tradition of agroforestry that is widely practiced in all ecological and geographical regions. Farmers and land owners in different parts of Uttaranchal integrate a variety of woody perennials with the Mulberry crop and livestock production systems depending upon the agro-climatic conditions and local requirements. In addition to sericulture , Mulberry has a wide and diverse potential to protect the environment in varying agro-climatic conditions. It is perennial , deep ischolar_mained , widely adaptable with fast growing and determinate type of plant growth. It produces high biomass and foliage with rich in protein. Though it is medium sized tree but for intensive cultivation it is maintained as bushes of different sizes depending on suitability of the situation. Mulberry can be grown as a tree as well as in combination with agricultural crops (intercrop) to increase per unit area production as sericulture is a subsidiary crop in sub-tropical area. Mulberry plant is capable of meeting the present challenges of shortage of fuel wood , fodder , timber , unemployment , cottage industry , environmental degradation , protection and improvement of wastelands etc.- Shisham Mortality in Hoshiarpur, Punjab: Causes and Remedy

Dalbergia sissoo (Shisham) is an important tree species for production of quality timber. The genetic diversity of shisham is very low; which has perhaps resulted in increased infestation by diseases and insect-pest attack. The species is eclipsed with one of the most important disease called dieback wilt caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. dalbergiae. The biotic and abiotic factors help in the spreading of diseases in the plantation trials of shisham. In the plantation trial at Hoshiyarpur (Punjab) the dieback wilt causes the tremendous damage to standing trees of shisham. Mortality was found highest (7.65%) for the experimental trials of shisham that includes a total of 49 clones and rametes. The disease was spreading rapidly and affecting the other healthy plantation of the trials. The serious preventive management efforts and mitigation measures are required to protect the shisham trials.Keywords
