Abstract
Evaluates afforestation techniques of waterlogged sites in India for about three dozen woody perennials. Of three methods of planting evaluated (ridge-trench, subsurface, and furrow), the furrow technique resulted in greatest plant survival and growth. Acacia farnesiana was found to be one of the most promising species for afforestation of these saline soils.Suggested Citation
