To conclude the present study, the physicochemical characteristics of salt affected soils of southwest and central Punjab showed complex saline and sodic nature. Coarse texture soils under canal irrigation showed development of waterlogging and soil salinity. The presence of concretionary calcium carbonate at sub-surface depths caused poor internal drainage and favored waterlogging. Suitable management options and alternate land uses are suggested for growing salt resistant crops, horticulture and forestry plantations with a proper water management practices Not Available |
