Question

The Process used for reclamation of saline soil is called as​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Leaching: This is by far the most effective procedure for removing salts from the root zone of soils. Leaching is most often accomplished by ponding fresh water on the soil surface and allowing it to infiltrate.

Answer 2

Answer:

The process used for the reclamation of saline soil is called Saline soil reclamation.

Explanation:

• Salinity in the soil is one of the major constraints to modern agriculture.

• The presence of the excess amount of soluble salt in soil adversely affects plant growth and development.

• Thus agricultural activities on such soil need a reduction of salt concentration in the soil. And this refers to the whole process of reclamation.

• This term refers to the various methods adopted to reduce or remove soluble salts from the root zone in the soil.

• The process of reclamation used for the desalinization of soil involves different methods such as Leaching, Scraping, flushing, Phyto-desalinization etc.

• Leaching is the most common and effective method used for removing salts from the soil affected soil.

• Scraping is the simplest method used in reclamation where the salt accumulation is removed mechanically.

• Flushing is an insufficient method that involves the washing of surface salts by flushing water. This is normally applicable to soils with low permeability.

• Phyto-desalinization is an eco-friendly, cost-effective, clean and efficient technique by which plants and their parts are used to reclaim the salt-affected soil mostly by salt-tolerant crops.

• Soil reclamation helps in soil restoration and increases soil fertility.
