Introduction Soil salinity severely constrains crop productivity in coastal agricultural regions by impairing soil water availability, nutrient acquisition, and root-zone conditions. Straw-based soil management practices have been widely proposed for saline soil improvement, but their comparative effectiveness and unde...

This study explores the sustainable optimization of Valencia orange production in Egypt's arid regions by analyzing the dual effects of deficit irrigation and biochar soil conditioning. Multi-season field experiments demonstrated that Partial Root-zone Drying (PRD) combined with 1200 kg ha⁻¹ of biochar significantly en...

This study aims to investigate the early post-termination phase as a critical window for assessing soil responses and improving agricultural management decisions. The experiment was conducted in Southern Italy and arranged as a split–split plot design involving three factors: irrigation system (sprinkler vs. drip); cov...

Abstract. Intensive agricultural practices have degraded soil fertility and polluted natural resources in Spanish citrus orchards, highlighting the need for more sustainable management strategies. Composting rice straw (RS) and sewage sludge (SS), two residues that are difficult to manage in Mediterranean regions, offe...

Water scarcity and soil salinization constrain sustainable alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production in arid Xinjiang, China. Although drip irrigation and microbial inoculants improve soil quality and crop productivity, their synergistic effects on rhizosphere ecosystems remain unclear. This study investigated the effect...

To enhance crop productivity in saline-alkali soils, it is essential to overcome soil constraints that limit root growth. This study used sorghum as the test crop and conducted a field experiment in the Hetao Irrigation District of Inner Mongolia to compare subsoiling tillage (ST) with conventional tillage (CT). We eva...
