Water shortage is a serious problem in many regions of
the world. The use of low quality water and industrial by
products for soil reclamation is found to be an efficient
alternative for traditional soil water management and
development of agriculture areas. Results of this study
showed that moderate saline-sodic canal water and PG
can be effective in reducing the sodicity and salinity of
highly calcareous saline-sodic soil. Taking into account
that phosphogypsum has lower costs than calcium chloride;
application of 30 Mg ha-1 and leaching with 4 PV
of canal water could be recommended for reclaiming
studied soil.
