ABSTRACT
Realizing the importance of agroforestry in Punjab and in view of unavailability of
any reliable data on area under agroforestry, the study was conducted to identify and map
agroforestry plantations in the Bist Doab region of Punjab state using Remote Sensing
techniques. IRS P6 LISS III data of October, March and April months of 2004-05 and 2011-
12 were visually analysed for interpretation and temporal change was studied. The results
indicate that LISS III data of April month on 1:50000 scale was found very useful for
identification and mapping of agroforestry plantations in this region. Total area under
agroforestry in the Bist Doab region was obtained as 7078 ha and 17527 ha in year 2005 and
2012 respectively. The major portion of this increase was occupied by Hoshiarpur district
with 36 per cent followed by Jalandhar district occupying 28 per cent of this increase.
Kapurthala and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar districts recorded 25 and 11 per cent increase in
agroforestry area respectively. Also, in view of changing scenario of LULC, different land
use/land cover classes of Hoshiarpur were delineated by visual interpretation at level 1 of
USGS LULC classification system. A total of 6 classes viz. built up, agricultural land, forest
land, waste land, wet land and water body were interpreted. Agricultural land dominated the
landscape of Hoshiarpur by occupying 86.15 per cent of TGA followed by forest land which
occupied 9.74 per cent of TGA. Very small area, in comparison, was covered by built-up
which is 2.22 per cent of TGA. Land use/land cover maps and agroforestry maps generated in
the present study will be useful for decision makers, planners, academicians and researchers.
Keywords: LISS III, LULC, visual interpretation, agroforestry, Bist Doab, Hoshiarpur.
