描述 | The Symposium on high salinity tolerant plants, held at theUniversity of Al Ain in December 1990, dealt primarily with plantstolerating salinity levels exceeding that of ocean water and which atthe same time are promising for utilization in agriculture orforestry. These plants could be very useful for a country like the UAEwhere fresh water resources are very scarce and the groundwateravailable at some places is already very salty. .More than 60 million woody trees/shrubs have been planted so far andmore are planned for the inland plains underlain with brackishgroundwater. .These species were no solution for the widely barren shoreline of theUAE. Here mangrove species were of potential use, and one species,Avicennia Marina, occurs widely and has been successfully planted forabout a decade. .Converting the tree plantations into economically useful croppingsystems is still a problem requiring much research and development.The book deals in several sections with conventional irrigationsystems using marginal water. The species used in these systems aremostly hybrids of conventional crops. The irrigation systems, however,have similar problems as may be expected for irrigation with seawa |
