Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Gypsum with irrigation every four or six days reduced SAR, Na+ and EC in clay saline-sodic soil more than gypsum-free soil irrigated every eight days.
- Intervention effect Gypsum with irrigation every four or six days gave the highest grain and straw yields in rice.
- Intervention effect Rice irrigated every six days had the highest water use efficiency.
- Recommendation Gypsum is an effective application for clay saline-sodic soil in the North Delta, Egypt.
- Mechanism Gypsum may mitigate salt toxicity in saline soils through its calcium supply.
