ABSTRACT
Unproductive land means lands, including wetlands, which by its nature is incapable of producing agricultural or forest products due to poor soil or site characteristics, or the location of which renders it inaccessible or impractical to harvest agricultural or forest products. Successful afforestation of highly saline soils generally requires improvement in soil conditions through the application of appropriate planting techniques. Ravine area is characterized by stiff clay with poor water retention power, alkaline pH, more soluble salt, less soil fertility. In Gujarat, where dairy farming is one of the major enterprises, the demand for fodder is increasing day by day. Coastal lands are found in India in the form of narrow strips along the eastern and western coast. Large quantity of sand gets accumulated as a result of tide and high prevalent winds. Deserts are classified by their geographical location and dominant weather pattern.
