Salt-Affected Soil Management Utilizing an Innovative Coated Sand Material—“Breathable Sand”
The 2nd International Laayoune Forum on Biosaline Agriculture, 2022 An innovative air-permeable watertight material (hereinafter “Breathable Sand”) was invented and has been used in various agricultural applications. Proprietary coating and surface modification processes are applied on desert sand particles, and thus the air permeability can be retained, while the material is watertight due to its water repellency ...
