The importance of different tree management practices on agroforestry systems’ overall
productivity is well documented for overall higher yield. Traditional agroforestry systems
in India manage trees for fuelwood, fodder, fibre and other household needs for which
these trees are lopped or pollarded by the farmers according to their needs. The purpose
of this paper is to review the biophysical science of tree management of the woody
components in simultaneous and temporal agroforestry systems with annual crops to
enhance the potentials of system productivity in terms of biomass and crop yield. Evidences
from field case studies have been collected to understand the application of tree
management practices. A better understanding of the tree management techniques may
lead to greater adoption of agroforestry in the small holder farming systems where poverty
rates are high, and land management for food and agriculture remains a major concern
for governments and development partners.
