Intro: In February, 1975 a study was planted in the Pakistan Forest Institute to compare the survival and growth of three species viz. Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Ceratonia siliqua (Carbo) and Zizyphus mauritiana (Ber). While major treatments were deep and shallow ploughing, minor treatments were (i) shallow planting with mulch, (ii) shallow planting without mulch, (iii) deep planting with mulch and (iv) weep planting without mulch in three replications. Size of the plot was 50 x 20 m. Out of this 3 subplots of 17 x 6.5 m were ploughed upto a depth of 45 centimeter and the other three upto the depth of 23 centimeter. As indicated above, these two were regarded as major treatments.
