Abstract

Field studies involving planting methods were made during 1993 to 1995 at Sidingi and Nabaguba village of Phulbani District of Orissa for establishment of fuel-wood species Cassia siamea. Continuous contour V-ditch proved most efficient in situ moisture conservation practice and enhanced average soil moisture status by 31.5%, 29.6% and 21.4% in 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm layers over normal pit method. It favoured tree growth to the maximum extent and caused maximum increase (75%) in plant height during observation in November’ 95 compared to control.
