Abstract

Land use systems in the Northeast Region of Brazil are dominated by large holdings and extensive cultivation of perennial crops such as cashew coconut carnauba wax palm babaçu palm and so on The common feature which links these crops is the silvopastoral system of livestock chiefly cattle sheep and donkeys grazing under them Agrosilvicultural systems involving cultivation of annual subsistence crops and in some instances other perennials in the stands of these perennial crops is also common The paper presents the available information on the management production rate of growth economic importance etc of these agroforestry systems involving cashew coconut and carnauba palmThese systems are of considerable merit in the environmental agricultural and socioeconomic conditions of Northeast Brazil However practically no research nor even systematic data collection has been done on these so that there is an almost total lack of information on them In order to improve the systems they should be studied in detail and research undertaken on various components crops trees and livestock individually as well as the system as a wholeSelection of suitable species of grass and other herbaceous crops appropriate management techniques for both overstorey and understorey species in relation to the age of the overstorey species optimal stocking rates of animals etc have to be determined so as to enable plantation owners and operators to realize the full potential of these systemsContribution No 8 of the Series on Agroforestry System Descriptions under ICRAFs AF Systems Inventory Project funded partially by the US Agency for International Development — USAID see Agroforestry Systems 13 269–273 1983 for project details Series editor PKR Nair ICRAF
