Abstract:

Improving productivity of sodic soils has become a concern in North Dakota because of the desire for more land for producing crops. Field and incubation studies were conducted to determine the impacts of different amendments (flue-gas desulfurization gypsum, sugar beet processing by-product lime, and langbeinite) on the chemical and biological properties of two sodic soils. The field study evaluated the amendment effects on the chemical conditions of the soil and the impact on alfalfa yield and quality. Differences were not observed in percent sodium (%Na) in the first 17 months and alfalfa yi

A field subirrigation experiment, using saline-sodic water, was carried out on a loamy sand soil in southwestern Quebec.

Maize yield, hydraulic conductivity, salt concentration, and salt movement through the soil were recorded in all plots.<br>No significant difference in maize yield occurred between plots irrigated with saline-sodic or fresh water in any of the three years.

Abstract:

Soil sodicity/salinity and scarcity of water are important constraints of agricultural development in arid lands. Excessive exchangeable sodium of sodic and saline sodic soils cause swelling of clays and dispersion of colloidal particles, and results in poor soil-water-air relationships. Reclaiming sodic and saline sodic soils involves the displacement of exchangeable sodium and its subsequent leaching from the root zone. This further depends upon the choice of chemical or cation to exchange for sodium and the quality and availability of water for leaching. Therefore, a series of experiments i

The objective of this thesis was to examine the dynamics of the self-filtration process in sodic sandy soils as affected by ionic strength and soil solution composition.

Roots growing in these soils rely on channels created by previous roots or cracks arising from shrink swell forces associated with seasonal wetting and drying. It has been sugges

The objectives of this study are to investigate the influence of clay particles on soil densification and mellowing, the mellowing of compacted soils and soil aggregates as influenced by solution composition, the disaggregation of soils subjected to different sodicities and salinities and its r
