Summary:Spread sheet based models for sylvipasture based on A. tortilis, A. amara, and H. binata trees; C. ciliaris, C. setigrus grasses and a pasture legume S. hamata have been prepared by integration of prediction functions evolved on the basis of five year initial growth/production data of components in the systems. The growth period for optimum yield on the basis of current annual increment and mean annual increment curves of collar diameter for A. tortilis, A. amara and H. binata associated sylvopastoral systems would be 11,8 and 8 years respectively. Comparison of predicted outputs at different growth stages in the systems show that A. binata associated system gave the maximum tonnage followed by A. tortilis and A. amara, respectively.
