Abstract/Description: | The productivity of rainfed agro ecosystem is limited mainly due to the unpredictable weather aberration particularly the frequency, distribution and intensity of rainfall, soil based constraints such as undulating topography, shallow depth, poor fertility and limited water infiltration capacity, sparse vegetation cover during most part of the year and the animal population both wild and domesticated feeding on the limited forest, crop land and natural grassland resources. The cattle grazing further enhance soil degradation and also disturb the agro eco system. These two problems can be safely tackled by establishing some kind of vegetative barriers in the form of live fences on boundaries of cultivated fields in the rainfed regions. In addition to serve as a guard against animal encroachment and moderating the soil and water erosion, planting trees, shrubs and bushes of economic valve on the boundaries of agricultural fields will enhance crop diversification into medicinal aromatic and industrial products and also serve as food, fodder and fuel source during prolonged drought periods. AICRP on agro forestry, ANGRAU conducted several trials on “developing live fencing systems for soil and moisture conservation, crop diversification and sustaining crop productivity in rainfed regions of Rangareddy and Warangal districts of Andhra Pradesh during 2002-06. Survey on fencing practices revealed that 87% farmers in these two districts were adopting some kind of fencing practices. Out of which 74% were adopting biofencing practices. Among the biofence species, vitex nugundo (24.5%) was the most popular in Warangal district and Lantana (21.8%) in Rangareddy district. Acacia nilotica (19%) and prospis Juliflora (13.6%) were the other popular species in these regions. |
