The genetic diversity and variability of Tamarindus indica L., a valuable multipurpose tree species, was investigated through a comprehensive study conducted in the Bilaspur region. This research aimed to assess the morphological variations and growth responses of T. indica under contrasting environments, specifically agroforestry and natural forest systems. The study employed a rigorous scientific approach, encompassing field surveys, statistical analyses, and morphological assessments. The results indicated pronounced morphological differences between T. indica trees in the agroforestry and natural forest systems. T. indica trees in the natural forest exhibited significantly greater average height and diameter at the breast height (DBH) compared to those in agroforestry settings, highlighting the influence of the environment on growth parameters. Here, the crown diameter displayed homogeneity across both environments, suggesting a potential level of adaptability in this trait. The findings show the importance of considering environmental conditions when assessing the growth and development of T. indica, providing valuable insights for both scientific research and practical applications in agroforestry and conservation efforts.
