- Intervention effect Combined amendments improved saline-sodic soil properties more than single amendments.
- Intervention effect Increasing gypsum rate decreased soil salinity.
- Intervention effect Increasing gypsum rate decreased soil sodicity.
- Intervention effect Gypsum at 10 Mg fed-1 decreased soil EC by 43.6% versus no application.
- Intervention effect Gypsum at 10 Mg fed-1 decreased soil SAR by 56.79% versus no application.
- Intervention effect Gypsum at 10 Mg fed-1 decreased soil ESP by 37.56% versus no application.
- Intervention effect Sugar lime mixture and molas had an insignificant effect on soil ECe, SAR and ESP after harvest.
- Intervention effect The gypsum, sugar lime mixture and molas interaction produced the lowest soil ECe, SAR and ESP.
- Intervention effect The three-amendment combination removed about 51% of soil sodium at the stated doses.
- Intervention effect The amendment interaction gave the highest soil infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity relative to control.
- Intervention effect Gypsum or the three-amendment interaction significantly increased sugar beet sucrose percentage and extractable sugar yield.
- Intervention effect The combined amendments significantly increased sugar beet root N, Na and K percentages after harvest.
- Intervention effect The three-amendment interaction significantly increased sugar recovery and recoverable sugar yield.
- Observation The highest net income per water unit was 1.93 LE/m3 with 10 Mg gypsum fed-1.
- Observation The highest net income per water unit was 1.42 LE/m3 with 6 Mg sugar lime mixture fed-1.
- Observation The highest net income per water unit was 1.28 LE/m3 with 30 L molas fed.- 1.
- Intervention effect The three-amendment interaction produced the highest total and net income.
- Observation For sugar beet root and economic outcomes, the three-amendment interaction ranked first among amendment combinations.
- Recommendation The authors identified the three-amendment interaction as the most effective treatment.
