Tooj Plant (Salvadora oleiodes) is an Ideal Cover for Saline, Sodic Soils and Southern Beaches of Country

Erosion, salinity and desertification of soil are processes that threaten soil and water sources directly and indirectly. In arid regions that saline soils are vast, ground waters usually have salt and increased soil salinity. From 165000000 hectares of country total area, 25000000 hectares are area with saline soils that mostly locate in arid regions. Saline soils are extending and this problem has environmentally, economically and socially detriments for country. One of the most important ways of the soil desertification and salinization prevention is protection and development of plant cover in arid regions of the country. Plant cover improves green space and living environment in desert lands. On this basis, the project of tooj brush multiplying and application for plant cover of the sodic and saline soils carried out in Jiroft and Kahnouj area of Iran. In this experiment sapling and seed method was used for multiplying, that seed method was suitable. Produced seedlings were cultivated in desert soils and were irrigated 3 month until their deployment. Results showed that wet and saline soils have suitable growth conditions for creating a permanent green cover.
