| Abstract/Description: | In India 2.95 m ha. area is affected by soil salinity spread in 13 states, out of which Karnataka has 1893 ha. In Karnataka about 925 ha saline land has been reclaimed through installation of subsurface drainage technology which costs about Rs. 52000 per ha of land reclamation. The post reclamation study revealed that land has become almost normal within 2 to 3 years and the land value has been increased upto 500 per cent. The yield of sugarcane has been increased from 42 t/ha to 119 t/ha after reclamation. Overall, the crop yield has been increased upto 200 per cent. The farmers obtained per hectare net income of Rs. 1.02 lakh after reclamation compare to a loss of Rs. 53,000 per hectare before reclamation. Though the saline soil reclamation technology is capital-intensive, farmers in Karnataka are coming forward to install the subsurface drainage technology on their own cost due to its effectiveness. |
