This study was carried out to determine changes in hydraulic conductivity of a saline sodic soil subjected different wetting-drying cycles and treated wastewater after stabilized sludge sewage gypsum application. In factorial experimental design, the conducted with three replication by using 3 treatment doses (50, 100 150 t ha-1), (0, 7 14 days) 2 water types (fresh wastewater). The values satu...

Salinity is the leading abiotic stress hampering maize ( Zea mays L.) growth throughout the world, especially in Pakistan. During salinity stress, the endogenous ethylene level in plants increases, which retards proper root growth and consequent shoot growth of the plants. However, certain bacteria contain the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, which converts 1-aminocyclo...

application of soil conditioners for remediation of saline- sodic soils is one of the common methods for improving soil properties in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the effect of soil conditioners on retention of soil moisture content, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in a saline-sodic sandy clay loam soil. the treatm...

Saline-sodic soils are susceptible to wind and water erosion when the dispersive effect of sodium overcomes inter-particle bonds. Rheological parameters viscoelasticity can help quantify attractive forces account for salinity in these soils. The main objective present study was investigate behavior saline-sodic Sirjan playa south-central Iran. Three representative pedons were excavated describe...

HIGHLIGHTS Spectral analysis is feasible to identify salinized areas. The most saline areas are lowlands with deficiency of natural drainage. studied soils in surface and saline-sodic subsurface.
