The ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute (ICAR-CAFRI) is located at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh.
It was initially established as the National Research Centre for Agroforestry (NRCAF) in 1988 and subsequently upgraded to a full-fledged institute (CAFRI) in 2014.

In isolated tribal and hilly tracts where shifting cultivation (Jhum) is practiced, monetized markets and formal marketing infrastructure are largely absent.
Under these subsistence conditions, farmers trade agricultural grains, forest produce, and domestic handicrafts through the traditional Barter system, directly exchanging surplus commodities for other essential goods (like salt, iron implements, or cloth) without using currency.

Completely Randomized Design (CRD) is the design of choice for experiments conducted under controlled greenhouse or laboratory conditions:
In a greenhouse, experimental units (pots/trays) and environmental factors (temperature, humidity, light, substrate) can be maintained uniformly homogeneous, eliminating the need for blocking.
CRD provides maximum degrees of freedom for the experimental error and complete flexibility in the number of treatments and replications.
(In field trials with soil heterogeneity, RBD is preferred).
