The invention relates to a method for planting
populus euphratica in
saline and alkaline land. The method comprises the steps that pits are dug in the
saline and alkaline land, wherein the pits are dug according to the requirements that the
plant spacing is 5 m, the line spacing is 5 m, the
diameter is 80 cm, and the depth is 80 cm; microbial
fertilizer is applied at the bottoms of the pits, the microbial
fertilizer and bottom soil are mixed to be uniform, and
populus euphratica plants are put into the pits and covered with soil; a pit with the
diameter of 30 cm and the depth of 40 cm is dug between every two adjacent
populus euphratica plants and wetted with
fresh water, microbial
fertilizer is applied, and
nitraria tangutorum plants are put into the pits according to the specification of about 200 plants per mu and covered with soil; planting soil is spread on the surface; after field planting is conducted, free flooding
irrigation is conducted; daily management of the trees is conducted;
pruning and weeding or
pest control are conducted. According to the method,
saline-alkaline
land reclamation is conducted by taking the populus euphratica as a main means, cooperating with planting of the
nitraria tangutorum plants and coordinating with the microbial fertilizer, soil of a planting area is effectively improved, the PH value of the soil is decreased to 7.1, the alkalization degree of the soil is decreased to 2.5%, the
salt content is decreased to 0.15%, the
survival rate of the plants is 95% or above, and
economic benefits are significantly increased.
