Plant breeding techniques or genetic engineering and agronomic strategies might be an effective and economic way of developing crops to grow successfully in water logging-proned acidic soils condition.
Genetic variation in wheat for salinity × water-logging resistance can be successfully explored using relative shoot fresh weight as a selection criterion in non-aerated 0.1% agar–containing nutrient solution and that irrigation in the field should be scheduled to avoid temporary water-logging at the sensitive stages of wheat growth.

Screening the acid tolerant lines in field and later developing agrotechnique right from planting distance to fertilization schedule depending upon soil conditions...
Marker assisted selection (MAS) is a new and more effective approach which can identify genomic regions of crops under stress, which could not be done previously. The discovery of comprehensive molecular linkage maps enables us to do the pyramiding of desirable traits to improve in submergence tolerance through MAS. However, because of genetic and environmental interaction, too many genes encoding a trait, and using undesirable populations the mapping of QTL was hampered to ensure proper growth and yield under waterlogged conditions Steady advances in the field of genomics and proteomics over the years will be helpful to increase the breeding programs which will help to accomplish a significant progress in the field crop variety development and also improvement in near future.
