Abstract

The effect of pruning intensity on the canopy dynamics of gutel (Trewia nudiflora L.) in an agroforestry system was studied under Tarai conditions of U.P. during the year 1990-91. Heavy pruning was found effective in regulating the leaf-fall and canopy development. This tree species tolerates heavy pruning and was found most suitable in sequencing its phenophases in relation to wheat intercrop in an agroforestry system.
