In Himachal Pradesh, 80 percent of its total population lives in villages. Their economy is depends on agriculture,
horticulture and animal husbandry. The practice of pure agriculture in HP is sufficient for the inhabitants to sustain only
their food requirements but, for other needs peoples are forced to exploit forests. The present investigation was carried
out in Giri catchment in located between 30O 33’ 48’’ and 31O 16’ 08’’ N latitude and 77O 02’ 32’’ to 77O 38’ 22’’ E longitude
in Himachal Pradesh. The net returns from agroforestry systems decreased, though statistically insignificant, in the
order agrisilviculture system (277415.00 Rs. ha-l yr-1) > agrisilvihorticulture system (270747.00 ` ha-l yr-1) >
agrihortisilviculture (269033.00 ` ha-l yr-1) > agrihortisilviculture (225880.30 ` ha-l yr-1) systems. The benefit-cost ratio in
silvipasture system was significantly higher (3.34) than all other systems and it decreased in the order: S6 (2.53) > S4 (2.38)
> S3 (2.17) > S1 (2.10) > S1 (1.87).
