Primefact Number: 242 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: 01 Aug 2006
Millet is is a relatively salt-tolerant annual and could be grown to reclaim saline land using irrigation water. The millet crop does not remove the salt.

It is this leaching of accumulated salts from the root zone using good quality irrigation water or rainfall which achieves land reclamation.
