Chemical changes in a saline-sodic soil after gypsum application and cropping
Abstract
Reclamation is needed on three million ha of slowly permeable saline-sodic soils in the Indus Plain of Pakistan. Previous studies measured an increased field-saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs) in the soil under study with cropping and gypsum application. This field experiment was conducted on a low permeability, saline-sodic soil (a fine-loamy, mixed thermic Typic Natrustalf) to compare the leaching of sodium and soluble salts and changes …
