Engineering Practices for Management of Soil Salinity: Agricultural, Physiological, and Adaptive Approaches de Sk Gupta

Engineering Practices for Management of Soil Salinity: Agricultural, Physiological, and Adaptive Approaches: Innovations in Agricultural & Biological Engineering

Editat de Sk Gupta, Megh R. Goyal, Anshuman Singh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2021
Abiotic stresses are known to adversely impact agricultural productivity on millions of hectares globally, and it is projected that these problems are likely to increase, primarily due to anthropogenic interventions as well as climatic changes. Understanding abiotic stresses—especially salt stress on soil—calls for an interdisciplinary approach because salt-stressed soils need hydro-technical, chemical, and agronomic interventions as well as an understanding of plant response when exposed to these stresses. This volume explores and conveys the latest information on emerging technologies in the management of abiotic salt stress and their field applications. It brings together experts from various fields (academia, technology, and engineering) to provide the latest information and knowledge on this important challenge.

Recenzii

"A welcome addition to the literature. It presents a holistic interdisciplinary approach to resolve these global problems of irrigated and dry land regions."
—Dr. Ashwani Kumar, Former Director, Directorate of Water Management, (Now ICAR- Indian Institute of Water Management), India
"In the context of 800 million people remaining hungry currently, to feed 9.7 billion people in 2050 will be a real challenge. While some respite is foreseen through management of land and water resources, reclamation of degraded land and water resources provides an opportunity that needs to be unlocked. This volume presents some interdisciplinary keys to unlock the potential of salt affected saline/sodic soils for higher productivity."
—Dr. C. L. Acharya, Former Director, ICAR- Indian Institute of Soil Science,
