• A study has been conducted on management operations followed by rural farmers in their homestead agroforestry systems. Despite high socio-economic contribution, the management of this farming system is traditional in nature; scientific knowledge and techniques are lacking. Analysis of field data showed that an average of 16.9 seedlings were planted per farm in the preceding year and of those 15.6 were fruit species and 1.4 were timber species. The overall seedling survival rate was 77%. The farmers depended mostly on internal inputs although supplementary external inputs are also fed used. The farmers reported that they manually carried out cultural operations like weeding, mulching and fencing. Of the tree level management, pruning, pollarding, and thinning were done. For maintaining homestead forest production and its efficient management the study recommended judicious incorporation of drought tolerant native species at the farm level, creating appropriate institutional mechanisms within the forest department and development of market systems for homestead grown products.
