Such industrial plantations can be established by using intensive methods on medium to deep soils which have a slope of up to 20 %. In this paper the best land clearing methods for soil preparation and weeding for different vegetative types are recommended together with estimates of man days required to complete operations. The most important point of the soil preparation techniques described is water conservation and the use of water economically in the rehabilitation of arid land and semi-arid areas.
