Agroforestry systems are classified on the different categories. Different cretrias are used in the classification of agroforestry systems which are majorly accepted.
The most common includes the "Nair" Agroforestry system of classification. According to Nair:-(1987), Agroforestry system is classified according to the following sets of cretrias:-
On the best bases of nature of components the Agroforestry is divided into four sections
In this system the arable crops are grown suitably mixed with tree crops this means the agricultural crops are grown along with the perennial trees in the same field.The individual subclasses of the agree with agrisivilcultural system are described:-
(i) Improved fallow species in shifting cultivation:- in this system the fallow land is used for the growing of perennial trees at the end of shifting cultivation.This practice degrees is soil erosion in the subsequent years and recovers depleted soil and nutrients.
(ii)
Taungya system, In this farmers/ local peoples are permitted to raise crops along with the tree species in same unit of land. The farmer is responsible for the land preparation tree planting and growing agricultural
crops
(i) Bank protein Bank in this system those plants which provide the protein rich food are grown in the field and farm lands, so as to arguments the folder quality and quantity rangelands. some of the species of Acacia nilotica, albizia lebbeck, Azadirachta indica, leucaena leucocephala, gliricidia sepium,
(ii) Live fence of fodder trees and hedges:- In this system fodder trees and hedges are planted along the boundaries which serve as a live fence in addition to provide fodder. The suitable species for this purpose gliricidia sepium sesbania grandiflora and Acacia species.
(i) Home Gardens:-
Home garden is the suitable for high rainfall area in tropical conditions these are highly productive and suitable one. food production is primary function of home garden.
In the system trees producing more flowers and honey are planted with the aim to augments apiculture.
(ii) Aquaforestry:- In this system suitable trees are planted around the fish pounds. The Prime objective is to augment Apiculture by reducing evaporation and augmenting microclimate. Bamboos, eucalyptus, Mulberry, salix suitable for bank planting surrounding the fish pounds.
(iii) Mixed food lots:- in this system multiple trees are grown in a mixed fashion with the objective to provide wood, fodder, for the soil conversation.
Arrangement of different components
The most common includes the "Nair" Agroforestry system of classification. According to Nair:-(1987), Agroforestry system is classified according to the following sets of cretrias:-
1. Structure Basis:-
On the best bases of nature of components the Agroforestry is divided into four sections
- Agrisilvicultural system
- Agripastoral system
- Agrisilvipestoral system
- Others system
(A). Agrisilvicultural system
In this system the arable crops are grown suitably mixed with tree crops this means the agricultural crops are grown along with the perennial trees in the same field.The individual subclasses of the agree with agrisivilcultural system are described:-(i) Improved fallow species in shifting cultivation:- in this system the fallow land is used for the growing of perennial trees at the end of shifting cultivation.This practice degrees is soil erosion in the subsequent years and recovers depleted soil and nutrients.
(ii)
Taungya system, In this farmers/ local peoples are permitted to raise crops along with the tree species in same unit of land. The farmer is responsible for the land preparation tree planting and growing agricultural
crops
(B) Silvipasture system
in this system production of Woody plants are done in field trees and shrubs mainly provide fodder.(i) Bank protein Bank in this system those plants which provide the protein rich food are grown in the field and farm lands, so as to arguments the folder quality and quantity rangelands. some of the species of Acacia nilotica, albizia lebbeck, Azadirachta indica, leucaena leucocephala, gliricidia sepium,
(ii) Live fence of fodder trees and hedges:- In this system fodder trees and hedges are planted along the boundaries which serve as a live fence in addition to provide fodder. The suitable species for this purpose gliricidia sepium sesbania grandiflora and Acacia species.
(C) Agrisilvipastural system:-
In the system the production of Wood perennials are grown with the agriculture crops and the trees are grown in the pasture field all three systems are interlinked with each other and provide the good income. parable crops are grown to provide food eatables, trees fodder to animals, field are also maintain in the same unit land that they are interlinked with each other and providing benefits to each other like the sheep's browse the grass in the field in the meanwhile the trees produce fodder.(i) Home Gardens:-
Home garden is the suitable for high rainfall area in tropical conditions these are highly productive and suitable one. food production is primary function of home garden.
(D) Others system
(i) Apiculture with trees:-In the system trees producing more flowers and honey are planted with the aim to augments apiculture.
(ii) Aquaforestry:- In this system suitable trees are planted around the fish pounds. The Prime objective is to augment Apiculture by reducing evaporation and augmenting microclimate. Bamboos, eucalyptus, Mulberry, salix suitable for bank planting surrounding the fish pounds.
(iii) Mixed food lots:- in this system multiple trees are grown in a mixed fashion with the objective to provide wood, fodder, for the soil conversation.
