ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to assess the effect of tree mortality and mechanized farming on regeneration and density of Prosopis cineraria trees in dry zones of Haryana. The studies were explored in July- August, 2006. It was found that frequency, density and abundance of Prosopis cineraria trees were more in traditional farming system as compared to mechanized farming. It was also observed that tree mortality was more in mechanized farming system. During the field investigation, it was diagnosed that tractor based cultivation and pests infestation especially Ganoderma lucidum root rot and root borer Dorysthenis hugelie are the main culprits behind declining density and poor regeneration of this multipurpose tree species of Thar desert.
Key words :
Density, Dorysthenis, Ganoderma, Mortality, P. cineraria, Regeneration.
