Phytodesalination of a moderately saline soil combined with two inorganic amendments

Abstract: The shortage of water and the increasing salinity are the main limiting environmental factors that directly affect the establishment and the development of crops. In this research, phytodesalination capacity of Sesuvium verrucosum was evaluated alone and in combination with agricultural gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) and Polisul-C, in order to remedy a moderately saline soil at greenhouse level and under nonleaching conditions. The treatments studied were the following: T1 (soil), T2 (soil + S. verrucosum), T3 (soil … Show more

“…It provides a natural source of Ca and S that can be directly absorbed by plants and is crucial for fertilization and healthy plant development. CaSO 4 application can enhance soil structure and physical (aeration, bulk density, and drainage) and chemical parameters (pH, CEC, EC, nutrients availability, and organic carbon) and biomass crop productivity (Alcívar et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2016;Lastiri-Hernández et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2017).…”

“…This could be attributed to the formation of precipitates such as CaCO3 and Ca(HCO3)2 (Qadir et al, 2001). The application of CaSO4.2H2O reduced the soil pH from 8.1 to 7.64, soil EC from 6.21 to 2.39 dS/m (Lastiri-Hernández et al, 2019). Gypsum application, along with humic acid and organic manure, in a saline-sodic soil has been demonstrated to improve soil pH, EC (2.65 dS m −1 from 6.35 dS m −1 ) and, consequently, the root growth and yield of rice (Shaaban et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, agricultural productivity under salt stress was significantly declined by reduction in plant vigor, growth, development and yield (Cheeseman, 2015). Gypsum application is foremost among the widely known methods of reclaiming salt-affected soils (Lastiri-Hernández et al, 2019). The gypsum increased the total yield (grain, straw) by 30.36 and 30.93 %, respectively in the first season compared to un-amended plots.…”

“…Sesuvium americanum was introduced to other countries for landscaping and ornamental purposes as well as for erosion control on sand dunes (Schweitzer & Erell 2014). It has also been used in Mexico to desalinate soils with moderate salt content (Lastiri-Hernández et al 2019). In Bahrain, it is used for medicinal purposes, specifically for ear ailments (Taha & Alsayed 2000).…”
