  1. The agro-forestry section conducts research on different fodder species, trees and agriculture crops. The section plans to introduce new agro-forestry system that include cash crops in order to bring economic returns to farmers . Currently the section is conducting a study on suitability of horti-silvo pasture, agro-horticulture model and kadam + NTFPs interaction study with the participation of farmers and leasehold groups. Objectives • To improve agricultural productivity tree- crop interaction studies. • To study prevailing agroforestry systems in the country. • To identify species for higher fodder yield and • To optimize fodder yield through research. Ongoing Activities • Study onhorti-silvopasture agroforestry model in leasehold forest • Objective: Tostudy the land management system for the current production of fruits, trees and grass with grass to provide fruits , fuel and grass requirements of the local people. • Study Site: • ShrisGhari Leasehold Forest User group at Ampghari, KavrePalanchowk district. • Established year: 2064/065 • Duration : 5 years. • Findings: First year yield; • Grass production ( 40 ton/ha). • Fruit production (25kg or 1.5kg/tree ) 2. Study on ‘production of piper longum(pipla) under different canopy cover of Acrocarpusfraxinifolious (kadam) plantation. Objective: To study interaction effect of Pipla production under different canopy cover of Kadam Study Site: YogikutiButwal, Rupandehi district. Established year: 2062/063. Findings : Survival percent and growth rate of Kadamis satisfactory while fruiting of Pipla is not satisfactory. sown on other sites. Agroforestry Section Study on horti-pasture agroforestry model in leasehold forestry Objective: To study the production of different varieties of fruits under pasture condition to fulfill the basic need of local people in leasehold forest. Study Site: Hardikhola Leasehold Forest and Gaidatar Leasehold Forest, Ambukhaireni-9 Tanahu district. Established year: 2064/065. Findings: Limitation: Presence of huge human interference, hence real production from this study was not recorded. Study on Agri-horticulture agroforestry model in private land Objective: To study the interaction effect on soybean and bean in combination with Banana (Mussaspp.). Study Site: Naubise, Dhading district. Established year: 2068/069. Duration: 5 years Findings: First year yield; -Beans (1.1 ton/ha) -Soybeans (2.3ton/ha) Research Team Mr. RameshShakya, Joint Secretary, Section Head Mr. RajendraBasukala, Assist.
