ABSTRACT
This paper is based on findings of the semi-detailed
soil survey of Bahawalpur plantation. Of the total area
about 400 hectares are normal silty soil without any
problem. Moderately saline-alkali cover and area of 106
hectares whereas slightly saline-alkali occupy 41
hectares. An area of 7 hectares is occupied by
moderately deep slightly saline-alkali soils are
underlain by fine sand at about, 6 meters depth. A brief
description of different kinds of soil and suggestions
for their improvement are discussed in this paper. The
location and distribution of the various kinds of soils
is shown in the attached map. Schematic diagrams of the
representative soil profiles are appended to this paper.
This information could greatly help in the preparation
of the forest working plan.
