PAU experts' advice for reclamation of kallar soils
For reclamation of kallar soils, follow the steps given below:
1. Get the salt-affected soil tested from PAU or nearest soil testing laboratory. For this, take four samples upto 1 metre depth from 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm and below 60 cm.
2. Prepare strong bunds around the field.
3. After levelling and ploughing the field, apply heavy irrigation with good quality tubewell water or canal water so that excess salts leach down.
4. When the field comes into field capacity (watter), if recommended, apply gypsum according to soil test report.
