**9. Potential agroforestry trees**

A tree animal group is thought of as appropriate for agroforestry in the event that it is having the greater part of the accompanying qualities: quickly developing nature, straight trunk, clear bole, fewer branches, restricted crown, the self-pruning mature beneficial outcome of litterfall and its disintegration on soil and with crops, great attractiveness, and so on. Remembering the above qualities, some tree species that could be possibly filled in agroforestry in the state are momentarily talked about underneath:

1.*Gmelina arborea* (Goomar teak, White teak and local name Gamhar) is a quickly developing deciduous tree with a straight trunk that happens normally all through a larger piece of India at elevations up to 1200 m. It leans towards soggy rich openly depleted soils with 750–4500 mm precipitation. It stays hindered on dry, sandy or unfortunate soils. It blossoms from February to March when the tree is pretty much leafless while organic products mature from May to June. This tree is really great for apiculture as its plentiful blossoms produce bountiful nectar and quality honey. It is a light demander and reasonably ices strong. Its lumber is utilized in developments, furniture, sports, instruments and counterfeit appendages. Once prepared, it is a consistent wood and decently impervious to rot and ranges from exceptionally impervious to respectably impervious to termites. It is proliferated through seeds as well as cuttings. Pivot for pulpwood is around 8 years and that of sawn wood is around 10 years under positive circumstances (**Figure 4**).

4.*Dalbergia sissoo* **(**Indian rosewood, Shisham and local name Tahli) is a medium to large-sized deciduous tree. It is the state tree of Punjab. It can develop at an elevation up to 1500 m and mean yearly precipitation of 500–4500 mm. It fills well in a wide scope of soil types, from unadulterated sand and rock to rich alluvial soil of riverbanks. Be that as it may, development is delayed in inadequately circulated air through destinations, for example, those with weighty dirt soils. It is engendered however seed and cuttings. It is a decent coppice tree animal group.
