The focus is on important issues related to salinity and sodicity and to describe these in an easy and user friendly way. The information has been compiled from the latest published literature and from the authors’ publications specific to the subject matter. The book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the terms salinity and sodicity and describes various salinity classification systems commonly used around the world. Chapter 2 reviews global distribution of salinization and socioeconomic aspects related to salinity and crop production. Chapters 3 covers comprehensively salinity and sodicity adaptation and mitigation options including physical, chemical, hydrological and biological methods. Chapter 4 discusses the efforts that have been made to demonstrate the development of soil salinity zones under different irrigation systems. Chapter 5 discusses the quality of irrigation water, boron toxicity and relative tolerance to boron, the effects of chlorides on crops. Chapter 6 introduces the role of nuclear techniques in saline agriculture. 2020-03-18 13:36:15 2020-04-01T08:56:34Z 2020-04-01T08:56:34Z 2018 book 1007237 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/22924 eng application/pdf n/a 1007237.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783319961903 Springer Nature 10.1007/978-3-319-96190-3 10.1007/978-3-319-96190-3 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 164 Cham open access
