Keywords:
causes of salinity, natural processes, human activities, soil health, drainage management.Abstract
Saline soils are a significant challenge for agriculture and land management, affecting crop productivity and ecosystem health. This article explores the concept of saline soils, their characteristics, the necessity of washing them, various methods for washing, optimal time periods for treatment, and case studies that illustrate these practices.
