In the Cholistan Desert, 0.44 million hectares are salt - affected low lying and clayey in nature locally known as 'dhars', where rainwater as well as saline groundwater could be utilized for growing salt tolerant grasses like Leptochloa fusca as forage during summer. L. fusca is a promising candidate grass for economic utilization and better management of sodic, high pH, saline soil and saline water resources of the Cholistan desert. L. fusca is known to be a versatile, halophytic, primary colonizer, easily propagatable, perennial, nutritive and palatable forage plant species. The grass has the good biomass producing potential and can grow equally well both under upland and submerged saline soil environment.

Abstract Approximately 34% of soils in Asia are influenced by salts. With about 25 million ha of saline and alkaline lands, about 15% of the country, Iran has the most saline lands in Asia after China, India, and Pakistan due to its geographical position, climate and human activities. This research was done due to determine the effective factors on soil and water salinization. At the first the boundaries of this region were characterized using GIS, then landuses were determined for field survey and also soil sampling in nine landuses were done according to both factors of planting pattern and water resources in each unit. The soil profile was prepared and soil samples were obtained from surface depths of (0 - 50 cm) and some factors such as soil texture EC, SAR, pH, CaCO3, Cl and potassium were measured. For study of water resources some samples were obtained from 30 wells and also from upland runoff, then soil and water sample were analyzed and some parameters such as EC, SAR, Cl− and pH were measured. Finally, according to data base, geological map, topography map, landuse map, soil and water measured data and also field studies, soil and water salinization schedule and region status were investigated. The results showed that important factors influencing water salinization in Ghaleh Ghazi region (Iran) are geological formations located in aquifer recharge and climate condition. Important factors of soil salinization in region are irrigation with saline water, improper irrigation method, unsuitable planting method, climate condition and landform.

Fifteen salt tolerant CIP (International Potato Centre) Potato genotypes along with BARI (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute) Alu 7 (Diamant) and one local variety viz., Dohazari Sada were evaluated at Bashkhali, Chittagong during 2011-12 to screen the suitable genotypes for cultivation in saline areas of Bangladesh. Diamant and Dohazari Sada and all of the CIP genotypes were found to grow well up to 60 DAP (Days After Planting) at saline areas having healthy plants and no senescence was noticed but after that 61-100% plants died due to high level of soil salinity (6.41dS/m) depending on genotypes. Genotype CIP 112 gave the highest yield (21.07 t/ha) and CIP 102 was comparatively less affected by soil salinity than the other genotypes. However, all the salt tolerant CIP genotypes were found to be promising in the saline soil. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v11i1.15249 The Agriculturists 2013; 11(1) 95-102

In our previous papers [1, 2] we considered the behavior of linear and crosslinked polyampholytes based on fully charged anionic monomer — 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPS) and cationic monomer — (3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) in aqueous-salt solutions, swelling and mechanical properties. In the present paper we report the applicability of salt tolerant amphoter-ic terpolymers composed of AMPS, APTAC and acrylamide (AAm) in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The amphoteric terpolymers of different compositions, particularly [AAm]:[AMPS]:[APTAC] = 50:25:25; 60:20:20; 70:15:15; 80:10:10 and 90:5:5 mol.% were prepared by free-radical polymerization, identified and their viscosifying ability with respect to reservoir saline water (salinity is 163 g⋅L-1) at 60 °C was tested. It was found that due to polyampholytic nature, the AAm-AMPS-APTAC terpolymers exhibited improved viscosifying behavior at high salinity water. As a result, the appropriate salt tolerant sample [AAm]:[AMPS]:[APTAC] = 80:10:10 mol.% was selected for polymer flooding experiments. Polymer flood-ing experiments on high permeable sand pack model demonstrated that only 0.5 % oil was recovered by am-photeric terpolymer. While injection of polyampholyte solution into preliminarily water flooded core sample resulted in the increase of oil recovery up to 4.8–5 %. These results show that under certain conditions the amphoteric terpolymers have a decent oil displacement ability.
