| This field experiment was carried out to study the role of mycorrhiza, organic matter, agriculture pattern for sorghum, millet in salt distribution in two different sites varied in salt levels. The obtained results of salt distribution in soil profile after harvest revealed drop in salinity values at 0-40 cm in depth as compared to initial salinity values, the drop in first site was 71.4, 70.9, 74.8% and was 59.60, 59.05 and 64.24% for the second site as compared to initial salinity levels for single agriculture pattern for sorghum (S), millet (M) and combined for both sorghum and millet (SM) respectively. Addition of both mycorrhiza and organic matter in the first site reduced salinity at 0-20 cm in depth by 79.3, 77.9, 82.0% and reduced salinity at 20-40 cm in depth by 63.2, 59.8, 68.9%, while salinity was raised in 40-60 cm in depth to 62.5, 52.4, 74.8%, at depth 60-80 cm rated 128.3, 121.7 and 138.7%, at depth 80-100 rated 124.6, 121.8, 129.3%, and in the second site, result showed reduced in salinity of 0-20 depth by 66.9, 65.2, 70.3% and to 56.1, 54.5, 61.9% at 20-40 cm in depth, salinity raised at depth 40-60 cm by 42.2, 34.0, 44.1%, for 60-80 cm in depth by 116.3, 109.8, 121.6%, for 80-100cm in depth by 68.3, 63.6, 78.5% for agriculture pattern S, M, SM respectively. | ||
