A043 Agroforestry Practices Slide Show

Bill Macklin, former Program Director, Nitrogen Fixing Tree Association. Undated, Winrock

A summary of agroforestry practices, presented as a series of illustrated webpages. The blurb states: "The following (slideshow) dialogue covers the planting "niches" on farmland in which trees can be used to the farmer's advantage. NFT genera most appropriate for these niches are briefly listed. Species selection and planting instructions depend on the particular site and on the farmers needs and ideas. It should be remembered that there are many non-NFTs that are very useful to farmers, and could also be used in the planting systems discussed."
