Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Rice husk biochar significantly reduced soil Na+ content and SAR value in rice cultivation on saline sodic soil.
- Intervention effect Rice husk biochar elevated levels of available macronutrients within one rice crop of 120 days.
- Observation Salt evaporation from groundwater to the soil surface can be limited.
- Intervention effect Mixing RHB at 1.5% wt into the saline soil yielded the highest rice production.
- Recommendation The authors recommend applying RHB in saline sodic soil for rice in cement ponds as an alternative for salt-affected areas to reach food security and soil revitalization.
