Salinity Management
Salinity management refers to the practices and strategies used to control the salt concentration in soil and water. High salinity can negatively impact plant growth, reduce agricultural productivity, and harm aquatic ecosystems. Effective management techniques include proper irrigation practices, soil amendments, and the use of salt-tolerant crops.
Monitoring salinity levels is crucial for successful management. Tools like electrical conductivity meters help assess salt concentration in soil and water. Additionally, implementing drainage systems can prevent salt accumulation, while crop rotation and cover cropping can improve soil health and reduce salinity over time.
