Opis

The result of our study showed the presence of 56 and 22 tree/shrub and herb species in homgardens and parklands respectively. Both high species richness and stems per agroforestry practice was recorded in homegardens than parklands. Provision of food, fodder, shade, fuel wood, income and increasing soil organic matter were uses of plant species. Sex, age, family size, and educational level showed some influence on the mean species richness and number of stems. Watering, fencing, copping, pollarding, pruning, slant cut and cultural pest/disease control were the management types identified. Land tenure, prevalence of pests/diseases, and scarcity of water were the major management problems. Based on the findings of the study water resource development, integrated pest management, and further research on management practices are the possible recommendations.
