Abstract
Some agricultural practices for improving the productivity of moderately sodic soil I: soil properties and wheat vegetative growth
Highlights
Wheat is one of the most important crops all over the world
The effect of tillage systems, gypsum, and farmyard manure application on some physical properties after wheat harvest are given in Tables 3 and 4
As for the main effect of tillage systems, the data clearly show that tillage systems were significantly affected soil properties except for soil pH and organic matter, where subsoiling tillage decreased soil salinity, soil bulk density, and increased soil porosity than shallow tillage
Summary
Wheat is one of the most important crops all over the world. It is the greatest source of food for a large number of people. To meet the tremendous increasing of the local consumption, the policy of our country aims to maximizing wheat production. Guan et al (2014) indicated that subsoiling improved crop production In this concern, Wang et al (2019) stated that tillage at 20-50 cm depth, soil bulk density, and the soil compaction were decreased, while it improved each of macro aggregation (> 0.25 cm), the structure stability, and soil water storage, increased maize yield. Heavy agricultural equipment resulted in soil compaction and formation in many hard pans which decrease root growth, limiting access to nutrients and water in subsoil, reducing crop production (Tahir et al, 2018)
