Identification and Economic Feasibility of Agricultural Management Practices Which Mitigate Salinity Impacts in Arid Lands Agriculture

摘要

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the costs and benefits of on-farm salinity mitigation measures. Continued addition of irrigation water to the soil adds salts which may accumulate sufficiently to reduce plant growth and crop yields. Literature review and personal interviews with irrigation specialists, agriculturalists, and farm operators were carried out to ascertain the range of impacts associated with alternative management practices.
