ABSTRACT
To investigate the effect of different mulches on the
survival and growth of tree species and experiment was
laid put at Rakh Dagar Kotli in Thal desert. Acacia
modesta and A. torrilis were planted with plastic apron,
stone pitching, and grass mulch and without mulch in
March, 1981. Observations after one year and two months
revealed that the mulches did not have any effect on the
survival of plants. However, out of the lour treatments,
plastic aprons were significantly effective in improving
the growth rate of both the species; stone pitching and
grass mulch had rather negative effect on growth.
