- Intervention effect Mulch raised sorghum productivity by 24% relative to the area where conservation was not practiced.
- Intervention effect Mulch was able to control soil salinity under sorghum cultivation.
- Intervention effect Mulch contributed to a higher incorporation of organic matter into the soil under sorghum.
- Intervention effect Treated wastewater irrigation had no negative agronomic impacts on soil.
- Mechanism Natural rainfall allowed effective salt leaching from shallow sandy soils after treated wastewater irrigation.
