dc.description.abstract | The agarwood tree is a multipurpose tree species (MPTs), being exploited mainly for ethno-medicinal, ethno-botanical as well as pharmaceutical uses. The leading market demand had led to over exploitation of natural population of this species. Due to over exploitation, the species became critically endangered and vulnerable under IUCN red list. Hence, to meet the demand and to reduce the pressure on the forest and at the same time to conserve the species from being extinct, suitable agroforestry systems and silvicultural measures are to be developed. However, few farmers in India were already cultivating agarwood tree in a solitary or in integration with other crops like Tea, Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin), Sarpagandha (Rouvolfia serpentine), Jatropha, Pepper (Piper longum), Pineapple, Turmeric, Arecanut and with other agricultural crops. Introducing this agar tree with other crops had given additionally huge returns to them. Many literatures revealed that, the integration of agarwood with tea crop can contribute a good amount of subsidiary income up to 45% of the total annual income of the family, which is even higher than the reported 7% average annual gross income per household in Upper Assam. This means, the agarwood plantation has the potential to improve the livelihood of the rural communities or the growers to a greater extent. Furthermore, the good pollarding and coppicing capacity of agar tree has made it suitable to fit in agroforestry. Many researchers had even recommended the agarwood tree as a component in agroforestry systems. Hence, agarwood based agroforestry systems can be a viable option to the growers for improving their livelihood. | en_US |
