Environmental and Economic Benefits of Saline-Sodic Soil Reclamation Using Low-quality Water and Soil Amendments in Conjunction with a Rice–Wheat Cropping System
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 ...
Modeling irrigated cotton with shallow groundwater in the Aral Sea Basin of Uzbekistan: I. Water dynamics
In Khorezm, a region located in the Aral Sea basin of Uzbekistan, water use for irrigation of predominantly cotton is high whereas water use efficiency is low. To quantify the seasonal water and salt balance, water ...
EDTA-assisted Pb phytoextraction
Pb is one of the most widespread and metal pollutants in soil. It is generally concentrated in surface layers with only a minor portion of the total metal found in soil solution. Phytoextraction has been proposed as an ...
Influence of Grid Cell Size and Flow Routing Algorithm on Soil-Landform Modeling
Terrain parameters calculated from digital elevation models (DEM) have become increasingly important in
current spatially distributed models of earth surface processes. This paper investigated how the ability of upslope ...
Soil and Plant Analysis Council: A Model for Scientific Innovation, Education, and Development
Soil and plant analysis has been a major contribution to the development of the agricultural sciences and indirectly to sustaining mankind. The advances that have occurred in the various disciplines in soil science, agronomy, ...
Quantifying the three main components of salinity tolerance in cereals
Salinity stress is a major factor inhibiting cereal yield
throughout the world. Tolerance to salinity stress can be
considered to contain three main components: Na+ exclusion,
tolerance to Na+ in the tissues and osmotic ...
Salt-induced land and water degradation in the Aral Sea basin: A challenge to sustainable agriculture in Central Asia
Expansion of irrigated agriculture in the Aral Sea Basin in the second half of the twentieth century led to the conversion of vast tracks of virgin land into productive agricultural systems resulting in significant increases ...
