Bioenergy sorghum as balancing feedback loop for intensification of cropping system in salt-affected soils of the semi-arid region: Energetics, biomass quality and soil properties

Arvind Kumar Rai et al.

Summary: This experiment tested the effects of reduced tillage, deficit irrigation, and mulching on root zone salinity and the performance of bioenergy sorghum. The results showed that these measures can effectively increase the intensity of cropping systems, and bioenergy sorghum can be a candidate crop in rotation with saline water irrigated wheat in a semi-arid region.

Deficit saline water irrigation under reduced tillage and residue mulch improves soil health in sorghum-wheat cropping system in semi-arid region

Pooja Gupta Soni et al.

Summary: In arid and semi-arid regions with limited access to freshwater, judicious use of saline water can be a practical solution for meeting crop water demand. Implementing deficit saline-water irrigation, reduced tillage, and straw mulching can enhance crop yields, maintain soil health, and save freshwater resources without compromising productivity in the sorghum-wheat system. This integrated approach offers potential for sustainable agriculture and land restoration in salt-affected areas of arid and semi-arid countries.

Leaching efficiency and plant growth response in an integrated use of saline water for coastal saline soil reclamation

Chen Zhang et al.

Summary: A field experiment in China's Bohai Bay region evaluated the integrated use of saline water for saline soil reclamation. By cultivating landscape shrubs with varying water salinities and evolving irrigation schedules, significant improvements in soil salinity levels were achieved. However, plant survival and growth were impacted by increasing salinity levels, highlighting the importance of optimizing soil water and salinity conditions during the leaching process.

Food insecurity related to agricultural practices and household characteristics in rural communities of northeast Madagascar

James P. Herrera et al.

Summary: The study in northeast Madagascar found that land size, vanilla and rice yield were related to food security. There was an interaction effect between land size and household size, where larger families with smaller land holdings had higher food insecurity. Recommendations include agricultural diversification, increasing yields, improving market access and off-farm income to mitigate food insecurity.
