Abstract

The Western Himalaya is rich in multipurpose tree species (MPTs) which are traditionally preferred in agro-forestry. Indigenous plants remained excluded in all reforestation and afforestation programmes run by the Govt. agencies due to lack of the knowledge of local MPTs and planting material. In present paper a list of 70 MPTs is presented with their brief notes on their uses and distribution, suitable for agroforestry plantation. There is need to study the propagation behaviour of these short listed plants so that suitable planting material may be made available for the successful agroforestry programme to ensure people participation. (Journal of American Science 2010;6(1):73-80). (ISSN: 1545-1003).
