Significance of applied organic manure for minimizing hazardous effects of water salinity and specific anions on some characteristics of a calcareous soil and plants grown thereon [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

A green house pot experiment was carried out on a newly reclaimed calcareous sandy loam soil (0-30 cm) having about 22 % CaCo₃ at Demo Experimental Farm of Agric. Fac., El Fayoum Univ. to study the hazardous effects of the usage of different water salinity levels (i.e., 250, 600, 1200, 2400 and 4800 mg L⁻¹ ) as well as the specific effect of anions (i.e., c1⁻, CO₃²⁻/ and SO₄²⁻) on some soil and plant characteristics. The response of the studied soil and the plants grown thereon (elephant grass as a new summer green forage) characteristics to organic manure (organic compost of plant residues) was a matter of concern in this study.
