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.
1. Salt affected soil definition and types
2. Features, Nature and distribution of salt affected soils
3. Soils salinization and sodification factors
4. Effect of salinity on soil microorganisms, plant growth and yield
5. Management and rehabilitation of salt-affected soils
6. Crop management on salt-affected soils
7. Mineral and organic amendments of salt affected soils
8. Genetic engineering and economic aspects
Summary and Conclusions
Dr. Ebtisam Eldardity has obtained her Ph.D. degree in 2001, Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Moshtohor, Zagazig University, Sharkia, Egypt. She is a Professor at Water Relations and Field irrigation Separtment, Agriculutural Science Division at the National Research Centre (NRC) in Dokki, Cairo Egypt. Her field of specialization includes; water relation and soil Physics, improvement of hydrophysical and chemical properties of newly reclaimed soils, saline water reclamation suitability for agricultural reproduction. Some of her teaching experiences include vegetable production under slean agriculture, design of irrgiation systems in newly lands, and new technology for new reclaimed soils held in the Training Department of the National Research Centre, Egypt.
- Provides both agricultural science and soil science perspectives on soil salinity
