Abstract

Crop cultivation by taungya method after the clear felling of teak plantations seemed more unfavorable than that after the slashing and burning of secondary forests because of low fertile soil and poor burning materials in the former case. However, effect of these conditions on the actual crop yields was not so high as expected. Therefore, soil and vegetation conditions of cultivation site were not a crucial factor in the site selection by taungya farmers. They selected their sites in consideration of distance from their settlement to the site, behavior of others from same village and natural environment of the site in a comprehensive way.
