Abstract
Some agricultural practices for improving the productivity of moderately sodic soil II: wheat yield, nutrient status, and economic potentiality
Highlights
After maize and rice, wheat is the third cereal crop all over the world, but in human dietary intake, it is the second after rice as the main food crop
These results were confirmed by many investigators such as Gelderman et al (2004), Taha et al (2010), Genaidy (2011), Bello (2012), Genedy et al (2018), and El-Sheref et al (2019) who reported that gypsum application had a positive effect on wheat productivity, especially under slightly or moderately saline soil
The results achieved from this research were confirmed to those established by many workers such as Ali et al (2009a), Shah et al (2010), Taha et al (2010), Shah et al (2013), Irshad et al (2017), Galal et al (2017) and Genedy et al (2018) who stated that added farmyard manure (FYM) to wheat resulted in enhanced its grains and straw yields
Summary
Wheat is the third cereal crop all over the world, but in human dietary intake, it is the second after rice as the main food crop. It supplies about 20 % of food calories for world people (Hamouda et al, 2015), whereas in Egypt it provides about 37 and 40 % of total calories and protein for the people, respectively. Wheat is used for making bread, pastas as well as other bakery products, it consider the main source of nutrients for the world population. Tillage systems are a cultural practice widely used all over the world with several different modifications aimed to, prepare seedbeds that are elevated above the land surface of the field
