Economics of raising Acacia nilotica on farm lands
Economics of raising Acacia nilotica on farm lands
Muhammad Hafeez, Liaqat Hussain Jafri and Mohammad Rafiq
ABSTRACT
To compare the cost of raising Acacia nilotica (Kikar)
on farm lands under barani conditions by two common
methods i.e., direct sowing vs tubed planting, an
experiment was laid out in Shakaragarh Tehsil during
July, 1987. Costs incurred on raising of Acacia nilotica
by two methods was calculated. Results indicate that
although the method of direct sowing is easier and
apparently cheaper but in the long run, the method of
raising kikar woodlots on farm lands by planting tubed
plants is preferable.
