Research and propose a model of aforestation combining medicinal plants suitable for the natural and social conditions of Ba Be district, Bac Kan province

Tóm tắt

The agro-forestry system is a farming model that brings many social and economic benefits and has been implemented effectively in many forested areas of Vietnam. Bac Kan province (including Ba Be district) has a lot of potential for developing this farming system because of having the largest forested cover in Vietnam and favorable natural conditions for cultivating of many types of precious medicinal plant. The results of this investigation about models of afforestation combining medicinal plants in Bac Kan as well as in Ba Be district showed that many forestry lands have not been exploited effectively. Areas growing medicinal herbs are still small; this does not commensurate with the development potential of local and have not yet brought the maximum benefits of the agro-forestry system. On the basis of actual investigation, the current research proposed a model of growing medicinal plant (Camellia chrysantha) combination with afforestation (Tram tree and De van tree) in Ba Be district. These plants have been suitable for farming practices in mountainous regions and bring more incomes for the local people
