The research initiatives have greatly improved our understanding of biology and management of horticultural plantations under abiotically stressed environments. To overcome the edaphic constraints, the on-site soil and water conservation technologies like trenching, contour/strip planting, graded furrows/ridgesare are being advocated to enhance crop/tree growth while the off-site techniques include storage of run-off, transport of canal/drain water through multi-stage-pumping, water tankers and switching to drip irrigation. But fruit trees suffer the most due to constraint for root proliferation with insufficient soil volume and supply of water and nutrients in required amounts in such shallow soils underlain with hard murrum pans/stones. Therefore, it is generally argued that successful cultivation of fruit trees requires a major shift In planting techniques, site preparation for planting and post-planting management since the initial establishment and growth of fruit tree saplings is the most critical phase for orchards. Thus, the aim should be to create favorable niches in the ambient where their roots are located. Keeping in view, scientists at NIASM, Baramati, have established that subject to changes in planting techniques and the site management; the Initial growth of orchards can be boosted in shallow basaltic soils. Therefore, we have collated the available information from our experiences of establishing different orchards crops on a typical bClsaltlc rocky terrain for the benefits of growers. Not Available |
