About the Book

The Book Trees on marginal lands will go a long way in providing the necessary information required for selecting, planting maintaining, and getting remunerative returns from plantation. Techniques of planting trees are covered under three chapters - Environmental considerations, Nursery technology and Planting out. Systems of forestry - agroforestry, social forestry, and forestry extension are dealt with in Part III of the book. Problems, constraints and policy issues, are covered in chapters 8, 9 and 10 of Part IV. Brief notes on some trees for marginal lands have been provided in Chapter II. Such useful notes have been given for 23 tree/shrub species found suitable for marginal lands.
