Section 1:
Before planting, the land should be plowed deeply.
Section 2:
Level the land. In the case of clay soils - as for sandy soils, if the land is difficult to level, leave it as is and deal with it in that condition.
Section 3:
Flood the land with water to displace salts from the surface downward, or drain them into the drainage system.
Section 4:
In flood irrigation, planting should be on ridges and in the lower third of the ridge, meaning the seed should be close to the bottom of the ridge... because salts accumulate on top of the ridges. In drip irrigation, seeds should be planted 10 cm away from the drip points.
Section 5:
Agricultural sulfur and organic matter are added during land preparation. Agricultural sulfur should be at a rate of 150 kg/feddan - or use agricultural gypsum. Organic matter should be at a rate of 30-40 cubic meters/feddan.
Section 6:
Irrigation should be done at close intervals even if the land is still moist because saline lands appear moist yet the plant suffers from thirst and may wilt due to its inability to absorb water from them. We must know that the plant expends great effort to absorb water from saline lands.
Section 7:
Crops that tolerate salinity must be selected.
Section 8:
During plant growth in saline lands, a salt layer forms on the soil surface near the plant. This layer must be scraped and removed away from the plant by laborers so as not to harm the plant.
Section 9:
Acidic fertilizers must be relied upon in the fertilization process such as:
⬅️ Using phosphoric acid (source of phosphorus element)
⬅️ And nitric acid (source of nitrogen element) - also to temporarily reduce alkalinity to help the plant absorb unavailable elements
⬅️ Using ammonium sulfate fertilizer (source of nitrogen)
⬅️ Using sulfuric acid to temporarily reduce alkalinity to help the plant absorb unavailable elements.
⬅️ In case of using ammonium nitrate fertilizer, it is preferable to add it with phosphoric acid.
Section 10:
Fertilizer rates should be divided into several applications, especially nitrogen fertilizers... because the plant takes what it needs and the remaining fertilizer may volatilize or leach downward as with nitrogen fertilizers - or fixation may occur as with calcium and phosphorus fertilizers.
Section 11:
During the crop growth stage, it is preferable to use fulvic acid and humic acid because it helps expel salts in addition to activating plant roots to absorb nutrients from the soil.
Section 12:
Micronutrient fertilization is added by spraying - or applied to the soil when used in chelated form through drip irrigation.
Section 13:
In the case of farming in desert saline lands, winter season should be relied upon more than summer because saline lands in winter season cause less damage than in summer.
