Silvicultural crop practices refer to the methods employed in the management and cultivation of tree crops for forestry, agroforestry, or sustainable agricultural systems. These practices focus on enhancing tree growth, maintaining soil health, and increasing biodiversity. Techniques such as thinning, pruning, and controlled burns are used to ensure optimal growth and productivity of trees. Silviculture also promotes the use of indigenous species, creating more resilient and sustainable ecosystems. By integrating trees with other crops, silvicultural practices can help maintain ecological balance, prevent soil erosion, and sequester carbon, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation. Effective management of forest resources through these practices can support both economic and environmental sustainability in rural areas.
