Abstract: In order to explore the improvement effect of green manure crops on saline soil,this paper takes the saline-alkali soil in Hetao Area of Inner Mongolia as the research subject.Two species of leguminous green manure crops,Sesbania cannabina and Melilotus suaveolens,were used in the field experiments.The results showed that:planting two kinds of green manure crops could reduce the soil bulk density,the soil porosity,and the soil nutrient content.After planting Sesbania cannabina,the soil bulk density decreased by 4.08% and the total porosity increased by 5.08%.The soil organic matter,the total nitrogen,the alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen,the available phosphorus,and the available potassium increased by 49.0%-49.4%,36.8%-68.4%,40.7%-43.8%,36.7%-44.8%,and 26.2%-36.5%,respectively.Therefore,planting green Sesbania cannabina and Melilotus suaveolens in Hetao irrigation area could noticeably improve the saline soil physical structure,reduce the salt level,and increase the soil organic matter,the total nitrogen,and the available nutrients;the effect of planting Sesbania cannabina on soil improvement was greater than that of planting Melilotus suaveolens.
