Abstract

ABSTRACT LEVELING the saline soil areas in a field to a plane 9 cm lower than that of the nonsaline soil areas allows water from high intensity rains to run off from the higher nonsaline soils and pond on the saline soils, thus providing leaching water. Original soil salinity for the 0-90 cm soil profile was reduced 53 and 16 percent in the saline and nonsaline areas, respective-ly. Grain sorghum (1969) and cotton (1970) yields were 47 and 38 percent greater than yields from an adjacent untreated field.
