The proposed plan of action for research on desertification in both Gezira and Sennar states includes an overall review of the previous and present activities innovated along this aspect. Bothe protective and preventive measures are required to combat desertification. Proper management of the cultivated lands, controlled use of the natural forests and rangelands, improvement of the standards of living for the inhabitants and the level of awarencess pertaining to the problem are all factors of impact on the desertification in both states. Accordingly, the proposed plan addresses two experimental sites, one in the natural vegetation zone and the other in the irrigated area. The former site involves the cultivation of environmentally adapted plant species, whereas the latter site caters for the management practices of the crops grown in the cultivated lands. Such a research program needs a multidisplinary effort of the specialties concerned together with the provision of funding estimated to implementation and follow up
