Optimize crop yield: key takeaways from soil salinization report
Salinization of Soil - What Is It? Excessive salt accumulation in the soil is known as soil salinization . NaCl is commonly used in this process. In addition to these, the list also includes various sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfates, chlorides, carbohydrates, and bicarbonates. The salt-affected piles of the earth are generally classified as saline, sodic, and saline-sodic, depending on the type of salt content. Water absorption is one of the primary effects of soil salination on plant growth. The inability to absorb enough water even when the soil is sufficiently moist causes crops to wilt and die. The report of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) of 2018 reveals that as a global scale: Approximately 190 million acres have been completely destroyed; There is damage to 150 million acres; Salinization affects 2.5 billion acres. Soil salinization: what causes it? The earth becomes salinized when soluble salts are r
