Abstract

In India there are large areas affected by the problems of salinity alkalinity and waterlogging. To rehabilitate these lands we require proper techniques and suitable salt tolerant species. Three planting techniques namely sub-surface ridge-trench and furrow-planting techniques were compared for afforestation of saline waterlogged soils and it was found that the furrow-planting technique is the most appropriate and economically sound. Out of several species tried for their survival and growth perfomance Prosopis juliflora Parkinsonia aculeata Casuarinaspp. Acacia nilotica A. tortilis and Eucalyptus camaldulensis are the most suitable for waterlogged saline soils.
