We are facing a problem of salinity and sodicity in our soil, and the rate of fertility is very low in which the salts influenced the crop performance.
A possible approach is to plant indigenous trees to lower the water table and to introduce drip irrigation to ensure water is being wasted while being sufficient to maintain plant growth
Dear Renaldo
But this possibility may bring another question, if you do know that the soil structure is not flocculated(aggregated) and the soil is heavy textured (> 65% clay), in addition to the poor quality irrigation water (5.8 SAR)... therefore, is it possible also to plant tolerant crops with amendments?
Hi Mohammed, you can introduce Biosaline agriculture, I suggest to read these books:
1. "Biosaline Agriculture and High Salinity Tolerance"
Edited by Chedly Abdelly, Münir Öztürk, Muhammad Ashraf and Claude Grignon

2. ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF HIGH SALINITY TOLERANT PLANTS
