Abstract: | Plant height, fresh and dry weight of both shoots and roots, leaf number and height of Eucalyptus camaldulensis progressively decreased with increasing root-zone salinity. Nevertheless, this decrease was moderate at moderate salt concentration while substantial reduction in growth took place at EC level of 25 dS m−1. In shoots, total ash content, the concentration of Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+was higher, while that of K+ and K+/Na+ were lower at high compared to low EC levels. This species tolerates a sudden shock of changes in its root-zone salt concentration ranging between EC 2 and 20 dS m−1. The paper also includes studies on field performance of this species in saline environment. Data presented from laboratory and field studies confirm the general belief that E. camaldulensis is a salt tolerant species. Because of its salt tolerance and high water use, this species appears valuable for strategic planting for the rehabilitation of saline and/or waterlogged soils. Economic feasibility and estimates are also made of the plant acreage needed for a small paper pulp mill. Contrary to the common belief, it did not appear to have an allelopathic effect on wheat production. |
