The problem of saline and alkali soils is old but its magnitude and intensity have been increasing because of poor land and water management practices. The proper land management by way of its reclamation involves physical, chemical and biological means, which are site specific and their ...
Saline sodic soil with a high content of soluble carbonates is one of the important agricultural soils on the Central Indo-Gangetic plains and elsewhere. Conventional reclamation procedures using gypsum application followed by vertical leaching (GC) is uneconomic; high ECe and precipitation of applied ...
This book is the latest from Drs Carrow and Duncan, who have published and lectured extensively on soil salinity and sodicity issues and the management of such soils over the past 15 years or so. How knowledge in this area, particularly in terms of practical management, has developed over th...

Although concerns are always there for off-site impacts, careful management and continuous monitoring can ensure maximum benefits. This article highlights the use of a wide range of solid and semi-solid waste products that have been used to reclaim salt-affected soils around the world and examines...
A combination of appropriate crop rotation(s) and management interventions has the potential to transform saline-sodic soil and water resources from an environmental burden into an economic asset. We carried out 2-year field studies in the Indus Basin of Pakistan to evaluate different irrigation and...
These findings contribute to our understanding of the processes involved in the amelioration of saline-sodic soils and provide insights into effective soil management practices. They serve as a theoretical basis for developing strategies for the reclamation of such soils worldwide. The r...
These regions often face rainfall shortage and groundwater contains excess salts with variable sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). Therefore, a laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) in reclamation of saline-sodic soil with pH, electrical ...
To evaluate the influence of wetland reclamation on vertical distribution of carbon and nitrogen in coastal wetland soils, we measured the soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (STN) and selected soil properties at five sampling plots (reed mars
Located in North China’s major coastal city, Binhai has a land area of 2,270 square kilometers, but over half of it used to be covered in high-saline soil, which is unsuitable for growing plants. Yet local people did not bow to nature and cracked this ...
