MICROBIAL RECLAMATION OF SALINE AND SODIC SOIL

摘要

A microbial technology package is disclosed for the reclamation of sodic alkali soils. The method comprises forming an aqueous solution containing mixed microbial composition. The fungus Trichoderma was also included in the technology along with several biological amendments such as molasses and farmyard manure. The technology being based on microorganisms, the treatment is effective and reclaims the soil up to deeper layers. Soils reclaimed by means of microbial treatment may leach out the excess sodium from clay particle improving the soil aggregation, thereby improving water holding capacity and texture of soil. The complete microbial technology package provided in the present invention was successfully reclaimed the soil to normal fertile soil.
