Keywords:
Nitraria schoberi, amendments, physio-morphologic characteristics, deserts, Semnan.
Abstract
Iran has lots of arid areas which the annual precipitation is low. Therefore, establishment of plants is hard. Therefore, at present study, the effectiveness of biological hydrogel (biological mulch or b), PLANTBAC vegetation layer (Pb), sand (sa), and barley straw (st) with rain harvesting techniques in micro-catchment scale (inter-row system) on plant characteristics of Nitraria schoberi including establishment rate, fresh and dry biomass, etc. was tested. According to the results, plant height was significantly higher in the sand treatment than in other treatments. The dry yield of aerial parts indicated that all treatments showed a significant difference from the control. Leaf dry and fresh weight showed that both PLANTBAC treatment and sand were significantly more than the control. Root fresh and dry weight was significantly higher than the control on all four mulch treatments. According to the results, there is no significant difference between the environment (non-micro-catchment and micro-catchment) and the different treatments, so, we can propose each treatment by considering its price for the region. it can be concluded that some treatments had more effect on plant traits than the others, because of better absorbing adequate moisture and preparing nutrients for plants. Hence, they can be proposed for the region. Thus, concerning the effectiveness of present mulches on a variety of plant properties, the price of each, availability, and condition of the area, they can be used to establish plants in desert areas and restore these areas by controlling dust and dunes movement, soil erosion, etc.
