Integrated Management of Salt Affected Soils in Agriculture: Incorporation of Soil Salinity Control Methods - Softcover

Integrated Management of Salt Affected Soils in Agriculture is a concise guide to evaluating and addressing soil issues related to saline content. Methods focused, the book combines agricultural and soil-based insights to efficiently remediate salt-affected soil.

Environmental stress conditions such as salinity have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield, causing considerable loss to agricultural production worldwide. Soil salinity control prevents soil degradation by salinization  and reclaim already saline soils. This book will help develop the proper management procedures, to solve problems of crop production on salt-affected soils.

• Provides both agricultural science and soil science perspectives on soil salinity
• Identifies differences in salt-affected soils and appropriate remediation options
• Includes methodologies based on existing scenario and targeted outcomes
