Due to the limited water resources in the arid regions of the world, new irrigation methods and restoration of rangelands and deployment of vegetation can increase the water consumption’s efficiency. These include application of correct management and deploying traditional and modern technologies which preserve moisture, increase water holding capacity in the soil and generally improve the physical properties of the soil. To achieve suitable solutions, certain treatments were defined to compare the effective amendments such as zeolite and underground irrigation with regular planting methods which uses fertilizer and superficial irrigation for various vegetative forms. In underground irrigation method, the needed water for seedlings is provided by the clay pots, due to the self-regulating property in the wall of the clay pots which results from mutual actions between the wall of the clay pots and its surroundings, causes the water to be gradually water the plant and do not abruptly run out of the plan access. Furthermore, the effect of adding zeolite to soil, due to its ability to intake and discharge and acts as a water regulator, has also been studied. This research was carried out in lands belonging to Isfahan University of Technology which has a warm and dry climate due to its vicinity to the Zagros Mountains on the one hand and the warm Iranian desert regions on the other hand. To achive the goals, 48 seedlings of Melia azedarach were cultivated in March 2018 and under four treatments of soil reformer (75 and 15% fertilizers, 25 and 15% zeolite) and two irrigation methods (surface and subsurface) and two irrigation intensities (5 and 10 liters) and the height, collar diameter, exchange of stomata and vegetation index were measured. Data were analyzed by SAS software using twin split plot based on completely randomized design with three replications and LSD test at 5% probability level. The results of data analysis of variance showed that the independent effect of irrigation on the stomatal exchange trait, Independent effect of irrigation method on plant height, Independent effect of soil reformer on two traits of stomatal exchange and plant height, soil correction effect × irrigation amount on stomatal exchange, interaction of soil reformer × irrigation method on all measured traits and triple effect of soil reformer × irrigation amount × irrigation method The height, vegetation and stomatal exchange were significant at 5% level (P 0.05). The overall results obtained from this study show that when using zeolite 25% under subsurface irrigation, 233.88% increase in height was recorded compared to surface irrigation. Also, when zeolite was added up to 15%, subsurface irrigation was 95.9% higher than surface irrigation and 75%, 45.54% and 15% fertilizer, 18.86% increased collar diameter under surface irrigation than subsurface irrigation. Moreover, the results showed that in 25% zeolite treatment, the amount of crown diameter in subsurface irrigation was significantly higher than surface irrigation, and this increase was 26.24%. Since the use of subsurface irrigation as well as zeolite has a positive effect on all plant growth traits, these two treatments are recommended for rangelands, desertification, agriculture and gardening in arid areas with water scarcity.
