STUDY ON SALT ACCUMULATION IN SOIL LAYERS AS AFFECTED BY DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF SALINE WATER (Pages : 30 - 32)

Soil salinity becomes a major issue in global agriculture when soil and environmental factors contribute to the accumulation of salt in soil layers above a level, adversely affecting crop production. Therefore, cultivation of salt-tolerant crops and management of soil salinity are important strategies to boost agricultural economy. The present research was conducted at Salinity Management and Research Center Batiaghata, Khulna to know the effect of saline water on salt accumulation in different layers of the soil. Results revealed that higher level of salinity was observed in the top layer soil in comparison with sub and substratum due to application of saline water (2 dS/m, 4 dS/m, 6 dS/m and 8 dS/m). The data also showed that soil salinity increased year after year.Download
