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 ...

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.

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
