Abstract

To promote afforestation in sandy lands and increase the effects of prevention and control of desertification, the application of a new drought-resistant product solid water and foliar fertilizer Shifengle  was studied. A comparison of three treatments (solid water, foliar fertilizer, and control) showed that both solid water and foliar fertilizer increased plant survival rate by 10% and 18.2%, respectively. Afforestation survival rates of Salix psammophila and Hedysarum mongolicum reached over 90%. In addition, height and crown growth as well as biomass of seedlings were improved by the treatments.
