Abstract

Poplar (Populus deltoides) based agroforestry (PBAF) is one of the highly successful and remunerative production system that is significantly contributing towards economically empowering the tree growers. The success of this productive model is based on adopting a set of standard operating activities at every stage of tree growth. In the beginning, promotion and development of PBAF was under Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in which its promoters provided technical know-how through a well nit extension team. With termination of PPP model, poplar culture moved to open marketing system for supply of planting stock from commercial nurseries and for sale of wood from harvested trees to open market channels. Under this transformation, poplar growers, especially new ones remain ignorant regarding the actual and standard operations to be carried out for growing good plantations. Based on four decades experience, the authors compiled the standard operating activities for the full rotation of poplar production and its month-wise activities are presented in this paper.
