Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Bauhinia variegata transpired the most among the four agroforestry tree species.
- Intervention effect For Grewia optiva, transpiration was higher in plants pollarded at 1.5 or 2.0 m than in plants pollarded at 1.0 m or coppiced at 0.5 m.
- Intervention effect For Morus alba, transpiration was higher in plants pollarded at 1.5 or 2.0 m than in plants pollarded at 1.0 m or coppiced at 0.5 m.
- Association Photosynthetic rate was highest in Morus alba.
- Association Photosynthetic rate was lowest in Celtis australis.
- Association Water-use efficiency was higher in Morus alba than in Bauhinia variegata and Celtis australis.
- Association Water-use efficiency was higher in Grewia optiva than in Bauhinia variegata and Celtis australis.
- Association Maximum leaf size was observed in Bauhinia variegata, followed by Morus alba and Grewia optiva.
- Intervention effect Cutting height did not significantly affect leaf size.
- Association For Morus alba, LAI was highest at cutting heights of 1.5 and 2.0 m.
- Association For Grewia optiva, LAI was highest at cutting heights of 1.5 and 2.0 m.
- Recommendation Fodder and fuelwood production would be maximised by planting Morus alba or Grewia optiva and pollarding annually at 2.0 m.
