The book Introductory Agroforestry provides a comprehensive overview of agroforestry systems in India, including their definition, scope, and potential, and differentiates them from social forestry. It discusses the prevalent types of agroforestry systems and the critical role of Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTS), including selection criteria. Emphasis is placed on ecological aspects such as tree-crop interactions, competition, and nutrient recycling, as well as agroforestry's contributions to soil and water conservation and agro-biodiversity. The book covers management practices, including silviculture, propagation, regeneration (seed and coppice), nursery preparation, and cultural practices. Specialized topics such as windbreaks, shelterbelts, socio-economic factors, and system design and diagnosis are also explored. Finally, it provides guidance on species selection based on site factors and reviews specific agroforestry models developed by Indian research institutions like ICAR-IGFRI and ICFRE.
