%X Watershed management has been a major topic for the last decade related to the issues of “deforestation” and “reforestation”. Recent studies have given options in the forms of farmer-managed Agroforestry for maintaining the hydrological functions. This raises questions on w hat is the best implementation and what is the best management scenario to achieve both the desired land cover functions and profitability to the farmers. The complexity of growth under mixed-tree stands of an agroforestry requires an integrated model to predict the prospects and sustainability of a plot design in an agroforestry scenario. A Spatially-Explicit Individual Forest Simulator (SExI-FS) was developed as a model tool for predicting the dynamic growth of mixed-tree stands and gives the info rmation of its potential productivity and other aspects regarding the tree growth competition.
