Planting Eucalyptus on rice bunds to lower saline groundwater [Thailand]
Planting Eucalyptus on rice bunds to lower saline groundwater
Eucalyptus camaldulensis variety H4 is salt tolerant and has the ability to lower shallow saline groundwater levels; as a result salinity is controlled. Planting eucalyptus on one or two sides of the rice bund in an east-west direction (in single or double rows) at a spacing of 2 m between trees is the most effective technique and well accepted by farmers.
