PAU experts' suggestion for Agroforestry

These are some suggestions made by experts for agroforestry:

• Poplar: As the temperature has started rising, thus irrigate the poplar plantations at 7-10 days interval instead of fortnightly. Turmeric and sugarcane can be sown in poplar having less than three years of age. In the plantations of more than three years age, fodder crops should be raised. The attack of Poplar leaf defoliator and leaf webber starts in this month. Control the insects by collecting and destroying infested leaves.
• Eucalyptus: Keep on irrigating the Eucalyptus plantations at 15 days intervals during April.
