Validation of ‘Saltol’ QTL under sodicity
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016 Development of rice varieties with sodicity tolerance would help to boost the rice productivity in salt affected areas of Tamil Nadu. A major QTL ‘Saltol’ has been reported to be responsible for conferring salt tolerance at seedling stage in rice.

Phytoremediation of Sodic and Saline‐Sodic Soils [PDF]
, 2007 Sodicity-induced soil degradation is a major environmental constraint with severe negative impacts on agricultural productivity and sustainability in arid and semiarid regions. As an important category of salt-affected soils, sodic soils are characterized by excess levels of sodium ions (Naþ) in the soil solution phase as well as on the cation ...

Bread Wheat With High Salinity and Sodicity Tolerance
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Soil salinity and sodicity are major constraints to global cereal production, but breeding for tolerance has been slow. Narrow gene pools, over-emphasis on the sodium (Na+) exclusion mechanism, little attention to osmotic stress/tissue tolerance ...

Soil sodicity originating from marginal groundwater
Vadose Zone Journal, 2020 Soil salinity and sodicity are among the oldest soil and groundwater pollution problems and are widespread across the globe. Where salinity affects crop water uptake and yield, sodicity may additionally cause poorly reversible soil structure degradation ...

Role of Calcium and Vegetation in salinity and desertification (Western India)
Environment Conservation Journal, 2016 Excess salinity is one of the main factors for low productivity of land and desertification. To know the effect of salinity and sodicity on vegetation study was taken at Little Rann of Kutch (saline desert). Ca have positive since EC and Na have negative

Effect of irrigation water quality on soil properties and infrared spectroscopic signatures
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020 Aim of study: To study the effect of irrigation with medium-to-low-quality water on an olive farm that seems to be causing salinity and/or sodicity problems in soils, and the ability of infrared spectroscopy to detect this problem.
