ABSTRACT
The effect of tree windbreaks/shelterbelts has been
studies in Thal desert (Pakistan) on the yield of wheat
crop in 1984 grown under irrigated conditions. Wheat was
sampled in 1M2 plots along transect lines on the leeward
side. The results obtained indicate a net gain in grain
yield. There was also a loss of grain near the tree row
which could be minimized by improved cultural practices
and control of weeds. However, the economic gain from
the sale of wood obtained from windbreaks more than
compensated the loss.
