The experiment comprised of 9 treatments viz., T1 Rice (Oryza sativa L.), T2 Nagli (Eleusine coracana L.), T3Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.), T4Khair (Acacia catechu L.f.), T5 Sadad(Terminalia tomentosa Roxb.), T6 Rice+ Boundary Plantation (Tectona grandis L.f.), T7Nagli+ Boundary Plantation (Tectona grandis L.f.), T8 Rice+ Boundary Plantation (Terminalia tomentosa Roxb.), T9Nagli+ Boundary Plantation (Terminalia tomentosa Roxb. ex DC. Wight & Arn.) in Randomized Block Design (RBD) having three replication. The accrual of carbon credit was significantly maximum in the tree plantation of T. grandis (T3; US$ 690.5 (£41430)/ha/yr) and T.tomentosa (T5; US$ 683.2 (£ 40992)/ha/yr) which was statistically followed by agroforestry land use system of O. sativa grown with T. tomentosa (T8; US$ 520.3 (£31224)/ha/yr) and least in agriculture land use systems of O.sativa (T1; US$ 161.1 (£9666)/ha/yr). Overall average accrual of carbon credit per year followed trend: tree plantation land use systems > agroforestry land use systems > agriculture land use systems.
