New research provides critical insights into optimizing biochar application for enhancing crop yields and reducing soil salinity in challenged agricultural lands. The team systematically analyzed data ...

Soils affected by salts can be described in two ways: by salinity classification or by potential crop response (Figure 1). Salinity classifications are based on the total accumulation of salts in the ...

This week marked the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, highlighting the importance of accelerating progress to restore 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land around the world. The IAEA ...

Salts are compounds formed when positively charged cations such as sodium (Na⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺) and potassium (K⁺) combine with negatively ...

A new study reveals that not all biochar works the same way in agriculture. The size of biochar particles can significantly influence how well crops grow, especially in salt-affected soils that ...

New soil testing and digital farming tools are being designed to work with field variability, as experts say soil complexity ...
