Abstract
The rice crop is the most important and widely used crop worldwide, 40% of the population is dependent on rice for getting calories. This study was designed by keeping in view the importance of reclamation of saline soil and for checking the effect of compost on saline soil along with gypsum. The impact of saline soil on rice crop along with gypsum and addition of compost was checked. The trials were planned at jhang district of Punjab. The covered area of one acre for each trial. The control treatment was only contain 60 bags of gypsum provided to rice crop in one acre area. The experimental treatments included the different amounts of compost and gypsum and their mixture was applied. It was concluded from this study that best yield was given by the trial having equal amount of gypsum and compost. The saline conditions effect the crop at initial stage, but with the combination of gypsum and compost the good yield can be obtained.
Highlights
The accumulations of salts in soil are the main threats to the agriculture
The high salt conditions can be tolerated by using adequate amount of compost [4]
During the preparation of land, after levelling and dressing, the soil was covered with compost and gypsum mixture
Summary
The accumulations of salts in soil are the main threats to the agriculture. The salts that are added in to the pure soil by irrigation must be eliminated. Rice crop is not tolerant to extreme salt conditions. During the starting period of reclamation, this crop is preferred over many other tolerant crops in saline conditions. The low land system of rice cultivation is very conditions. This reduces salinity from soil at 1 to 2 centimetres and provides good soil to the seedlings for growth. In result the ground water from saline soil is utilized by crop.
