Studies on the Improvement of Saline Soils in Complex Agricultural Experi ments with Salinity-Tolerant Species, Green Crops and Different Types of Fer tilizers
Abstract:
The physicochemical properties of the soil influence the aerohydric regime of the soils, the development of the root system of crop plants and the absorption of mineral elements necessary for their physiological growth and development processes.In Romania, alkaline soils cover around 500-600 thousand hectares, which must be improved through various methods and technologies to bring them into the range necessary for the favorable growth and development of crop plants.The paper presents experimental results from a complex project to re mediate saline soils through the use of amendments, fertilizers, green crops and salinity-tolerant species, ADER 20.1.3., entitled "Measures and recommendations for reducing the risk of soil salinization and erosion under the influence of climate change" which is being implemented between 2023 and 2026, being funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Bucharest, Romania. The results showed that the effectiveness of amend ments increases with the application of a complex of agropedoamelioration measures to improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, respectively with the use of green crops and crop rotation with salinity-tolerant species.
