Abstract:
      In order to find out the effects of ridge and furrow planting on salt accumulation and growth of Salicornia-Europaea L.,field experiments were conducted to study the growth and contents and accumulative amounts of mineral el-ements of Salicornia Europaea L. under ridge and furrow and conventional flat planting methods. The results indicated that the biomass and shoot/ root ratio of Salicornia Europaea L. increased with ridge and furrow planting. Especially the biomass with ridge and furrow planting was nearly 2 times as that with conventional flat planting. The methods of ridge and furow planting could influence the content of mineral elements of Salicornia Europaea L.,especially that of N,K and Na. There was no significant diference in the content of N and Na of Salcornia Europaea L. between ridge and conventional flat planting, but this was sigmificantly higher than that with furow planting. The content of potassium of Salicornia Europaea L. with furow planting was higher than that with ridge and conventional flat planting. The accumu-lative amounts of mineral elements under ridge and furow planting were significantly higher than those under conventional flat planting. Thus the methods of ridge and furow planting could stimulate Salicornia Europaea L. growth and strength the effectiveness of soil amelioration.
