| Summary |
"Abiotic stresses are known to adversely impact agricultural productivity on millions of hectares globally, and it is projected that these problems are likely to increase, primarily due to anthropogenic interventions as well as climatic changes. Understanding abiotic stressesespecially salt stress on soilcalls for an interdisciplinary approach because salt-stressed soils need hydro-technical, chemical, and agronomic interventions as well as an understanding of plant response when exposed to these stresses. This volume, Engineering Practices for Management of Soil Salinity, explores and conveys the latest information on emerging technologies in the management of abiotic salt stress and their field applications. It brings together experts from various disciplines (academia, technology, and engineering) to provide the latest information and knowledge on this important challenge. The volume includes some of the latest information on field practices for soil reclamation from the disciplines of soil science, agronomy, and engineering. The plant adaptation studies presented in the book encompass the work done by physiologists, plant breeders, biochemists, and genetics. The potential of many crops, such as halophytes and seed spices, is discussed by experts. And topics span both conventional and nonconventional crops in arid, semi-arid, and coastal ecology. The book covers:management of saline/sodic stress: field practicesphysiological and molecular innovations to enhance salt toleranceadaptations and screening of plants under water logging and salinity stressesnonconventional and high-value crops for salt affected landsThe volume addresses a wide range of issues on the management of soil salinity and will be of interest and value to the researchers, teachers, students, and field practitioners in many fields"--Provided by publisher |
