Trials with Australian and other Acacia species on salt-affected land in Pakistan, Thailand and Australia.

Abstract

Some preliminary results are reported of species and provenance trials with Australian and other Acacia species conducted in Pakistan (North West Frontier Province, 12 species), Thailand (4 species) and Australia (Queensland, 7 species). Preliminary results are also given from a trial in Thailand dealing with the effect of various preplanting techniques on the survival and growth of Acacia ampliceps (mulching, soil amendments, fertilizer treatment etc.).
