Demonstration of biosaline agriculture for fodder production

Methods for Biosaline Agriculture are briefly discussed for undertaking fodder cultivation at salt affected soils and sandy desert using highly saline water for irrigation. The technique has been demonstrated for growing salt tolerant gasses and halophytic fodder bushes under following conditions. i) Drum pot culture using different dilutions of sea water for irrigation. ii) Field experiments performed at coastal sandy belt using highly saline underground water for irrigation. iii) Field trials undertaken at inland highly saline silty-clay loam.
