Soil salinization and sodification are common processes that particularly characterize drylands. These can be attributed either to natural conditions or anthropogenic activities. While causes include factors such as climate, lithology, topography, pedology, human mostly related agricultural land-use, specifically, irrigated agriculture. The objective of this study was thoroughly review topic, w...

Climate-change-induced freshwater shortage and saline intrusion have been posing significant risks to agricultural sectors in arid semi-arid regions, negatively impacting irrigation, crop yield, food production. Climate-smart sustainable solutions are the requirement combat these major concerns. To overcome scarcity, pressure-driven desalination techniques used that require advanced operational...

In South Africa, as in most other sugarcane growing countries, efficient fertiliser practices have contributed greatly to sugarcane productivity. The South African Sugar Association Experiment Station (SASEX) Fertiliser Advisory Service (FAS), which has been operating for more than 40 years, has played a major role in providing cost effective recommendations to cane producers and in minimising ...

Agricultural production in sodic soil may be hindered by its unfavorable physicochemical properties. In order to find effective measure improve the health of and make it favourable for crop production, a field experiment was conducted at ZARS VC Farm Mandya study effect different amendments on properties soil. The laid under split plot design with inorganic nutrient management viz., RDF, SSNM S...
