The study was carried out during the months of June-August 2006 in five northern districts of Karnataka viz., Bijapur, Bagalkot, Gulbarga, Koppal and Raichur to find out prominent agroforestry practices. The data were collected by interview method using structured questionnaire. The bund planting was found to be most prominent agroforestry practice both in rainfed and irrigated situations in all the five districts. Nearly 88.4 per cent of the respondents followed bund planting in rainfed situation, whereas it was 86.1 per cent in irrigated situation. The other potential agroforestry practices followed were boundary planting and scattered planting in all the five districts. Neem and babul (Acacia nilotica) are frequently occurred tree species in all the five districts under both rainfed (82.9% and 46.2%, respectively) and irrigated ecosystems (74.4% and 35.4%, respectively). The highest performance was for fruits, timber and fuel wood tree species in all the five districts in rainfed (70.1%, 64.6% and 37.3%, respectively) and irrigated situations (59.6%, 63.7% and 35.9%, respectively).
