Abstract
Practicing wheat-maize cropping system by the farmers of Himachal Pradesh is less economical viable as compared to pulses. Besides this, pulses have high potential of soil improvement through nitrogen fixation. Hence, the experiment was premeditated to evaluate the carbon stock potential and economic profitability of cereals and pulses under Harar and Aonla based agroforestry systems in the low hill zone of Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was conducted with nine treatment combinations with four replications in RBD. Highest biomass (77.80 t ha-1) and carbon stock (38.05 t ha-1) were recorded under maize+Harar. In term of economics, maximum gross returns (80,471.49 ` ha-1) were obtained for maize+Aonla yet, the maximum net returns (42,684.40 ` ha-1) and BC ratio (2.14) were found for mash+Aonla.
与豆类相比,喜马偕尔邦的农民实行小麦-玉米种植制度在经济上不太可行。此外,豆类具有较高的固氮改良土壤潜力。因此,本试验旨在评价喜马偕尔邦低丘陵地区以哈拉和奥拉为基础的农林业系统下谷物和豆类的碳储量潜力和经济效益。试验在RBD中进行了9个治疗组合,4个重复。玉米+哈拉尔的生物量最高(77.80 t ha-1),碳储量最高(38.05 t ha-1)。在经济性方面,玉米+Aonla的总收益最大(80,471.49’ha-1),醪+Aonla的净收益最大(42,684.40’ha-1), BC比最大(2.14)。
