Abstract

Scaling up of Ghamar (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) based agroforestry in India has a prime concern as it is a native species which has potential to replace and act as a substitute for other exotic timber trees in the country. Gmelina is gaining momentum at the present time; besides fulfilling the demand of wood and timber in the current scenario of industrial agroforestry and also fulfilling other domestic needs. This fast growing woody species has got increasing attention in India because of its exemplified diverse values due to its indigenous origin, quality wood, easy and quick remunerative returns. The present paper highlights the multifaceted volume of Gmelina in agroforestry including carbon sequestration potential, manifold importance and desirability of under home gardens and agroforestry systems. In addition, the paper also points out the existing constraints and limitations which are responsible in fading it’s the large scale production in agroforestry and farm forestry.
