Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station Gangavati Karnataka India to study the effect of tree species on bioamelioration of saline Vertisols. Six tree species namely Casuari na equisetifolia Acacia nilnkca DalMgia sissoo Azardirachta indica Sesbania grandiJlnra and Harduickia binata were chosen for the experiment. Reduction in soil salinity calcium carbonate and soil soluble sodium bicarbonate chloride sulphate and sodium adsorption ratio was observed under all the tree species apart from improvement in organic carbon. Tree species such as A. nilotica and C. equisetifolia with higher biomass production exhibited greater bioamelioration potential in saline Vertisols.
