Abstract
The provision of open drains in a waterlogged, saline area lowered the water table sufficiently to permit crop production. The values for oxygen diffusion rate (aeration) and soil hydraulic conductivity were higher and those for bulk density and salt concentration were lower in drained than undrained areas. Sorghum grown in 2 kharif [summer monsoon] seasons on a drained area gave [grain] yields of 2.47-4.76 t/ha, whereas it failed to grow on an undrained area. Wheat grown in 2 rabi [winter] seasons gave [grain] yields of 4.28-4.5 t/ha on a drained and 0.69-0.7 t/ha on an undrained area.
