To compare the cost of raising Acacia nilotica (Kikar) on farm lands under barani conditions by two common methods i.e. direct sowing vs tubed planting , an experiment was laid out in Shakarghar Tehsil during July, 1987. Costs incurred on raising of Acacia nilotica by two methods was calculated. Results indicate that although the method of direct sowing is easier and apparently cheaper but in the long run, the method of raising kikar woodlot on farm lands by planting tubed plants is preferable.
