The study indicated that, solarization treatment receiving mulching with thin polythene sheet (0.03 mm) recorded significantly higher soil temperature at all stages. Soil temperature recorded in treatments with thin (0.03 mm), 0 medium (0.06 mm) and thick polythene sheet (0.12 mm) was 56.0, 54.4 and 53.7°C respectively. Soil temperature in primary nursery bed was significantly higher with longer duration of solarization than with short or medium duration 0 54.3, 54.4 and 55.3°C respectively. Thin (G ) or medium (G ) polythene sheet in combination with longer duration of 1 2 0 solarization (D ) significantly increased the soil temperature at all the intervals of study (57.3°C).Keywords

The study was conducted to explore the growth performance of different clones of Populus deltoides under farm forestry. The experiment was established during February, 2006 with six poplar clones under two environments i.e. pure poplar plantation and agroforestry plantation (poplar with wheat and mung) and laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications. Results of the studies revealed that all growth parameters of poplar clones i.e. DBH, height and crown spread exhibited better performance under agroforestry plantation. Overall, clone SWL 22 showed best performance under both the environments.Keywords
