The present investigation entitled “Influence of tree cropping systems on physical properties of salt affected soil” was carried out at wasteland management farm Akma, Department of Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar, Kumarganj, Faizabad, U.P. during the year 2010-11. All the tree cropping systems viz. Aonla + Ber, Aonla + Guava, Ber + Guava + Phalsa, Aonla + Karonda and Aonla + Subabool improved the physical properties of soil as compared to control (barren site). Decrease in bulk density, particle density, silt and increase in water holding capacity, hydraulic conductivity and sand percent indicated considerable improvement in physical properties of soil. Improvement was noticed more in inside canopy as compared to open side canopy of plants. The impact was recorded higher in upper depth as compared to lower depth of soil.
