Use of Integrated Approaches to Manage Inferior Soil and Water Resources for Rice Production
Muhammad Imran Ahmad Khan and Munir Hussain Zia

Abstract: Wire house pot culture experiments were conducted to monitor the effects of organic amendments and effective microorganisms (EM) on the reclamation of a saline soil material, using canal and brackish water rice crop (Oryza sativa L.). Application of green manure and farm yard manure with EM decreased the electrical conductivity (ECe) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of soils irrigated with canal and brackish water. Green manuring with EM had a significant effect on the vegetative growth of rice, panicle bearing tillers, straw and grain yield. In rice leaves Na+ concentration was increased.
