Sodicity tolerant rice culture TR 05031, a derivative of the cross ADT 39 x CO 45  was released as Rice TRY 4 during year 2021 mid early duration variety  with 127 days high yield,  high milling (68.1 %)  and head recovery (57.2 %). Twelve years testing across 181 locations in Tamil Nadu revealed that culture  is yielding (5730 kg/ha 22.00 per cent increased grain yield...

Maize is a cereal crop which plays an important role in ensuring food security and social economic stability. It grown different environments. Global agriculture currently encountered with large scale alkalinity stress. Supplementing silicon, alternative way for overcoming the negative effects of sodicity on plant growth yield cheaper than other methods to reduce sodicity. Hence, pot experiment...

In many crop producing areas of the world there are reports of yield decline and loss of productive potential in soils. Little is known about the long term effects of sugarcane monocropping on changes in physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. The aim of this study was to quantify the physical and chemical condition of soils under sugarcane production in northern Kwazulu-Natal, a...

The main objective of this paper is to check the soil fertility and salinity status. For this purpose, a total of 3325 soil samples, collected from all tehsils of Muzffargarh district (from tehsil Muzaffargarh, Jatoi, Kot Addu and Ali Pur), were tested in the Soil and Water Testing Laboratory, Cane Development Cell, Fatima Sugar Mills, Muzaffargarh, Pakistan from 2012 to 2014. Samples were anal...

Wastewater reuse is being widely promulgated to help address the global freshwater resource crisis. It can assist in reducing extraction of freshwater from the environment, and reuse of wastewater lessens the need for environmental discharge, which is clearly beneficial to receiving waters. But the practice itself also has the potential to be detrimental to natural and human environments: soil ...

Salinity in agricultutal terms is the excess of salts above the level plant require. Most often it poses constrains in the growth hence productivity of the category of plants called glycophytes, wherein falls major crops, therefore is a serious concern. It is often recognized as excess of sodium ions (sodicity) that imparts life threatening consequences in plant due to mal-textured soil hindere...
