Abstract :
Realizing severe decrease in broom grass production in wild and ever increasing market potential, it has become the need of hour to domesticate it in farmer's fields. This can be achieved through sustainable cultivation under agroforestry. Introducing the plantation in a new site has many implications such as suitability of land, willingness of farmers for sparing their own fields, choice of perennial and seasonal but profitable and suitable intercrops and market linkages. The participatory approach adopted at every stage, established a pathway to reach the objectives taking care of all the implications. Extension strategies by using SWOT exercise have been significantly effectual to understand the problems and prospects. The analysis helps to motivate farmers for participatory planning and execution of the On-farm research and demonstration. The observations and experiences from the study site reveal that the practice is much viable (Benefit-Cost Ratio of 6.21) and sustainable. It has a potential scope for extension in Tripura and north-east hill regions of India as well.
