- W2742147960 abstract "This paper describes some of the work on saline agriculture in Pakistan over the last 20 years, giving examples of successes in translating techniques from the laboratory to the farming community. Examples are given of projects demonstrating the use of halophytic species for fodder and fuel production, and improvements due to new agronomic techniques and plant breeding. Halophytes such as Atriplex species are highly productive and can provide maintenance diets but need supplementation for production, and increase water uptake. Trees such as Acacia and Prosopis species have a valuable role to play, both for revegetation and for biological drainage. The use of raised-bed technology, and on-farm seed priming, can improve production and efficiency of a range of crops in saline conditions. Traditional plant breeding has successfully developed salt-tolerant varieties of several crops, while wide hybridisation has incorporated genes for tolerance from related species into wheat. However, to ensure that breeders produce what farmers need, it is important that farmers participate fully in the production of new varieties, and an example of a successful participatory trial from India is given. Mention is also made of the technique of biological reclamation of salt-affected soils. Agroforestry has great potential as a productive and economic use of saline land, but so far much more work has been done in India than in Pakistan. The paper concludes by stressing the importance of ensuring markets for the products of saline agricultural systems." @default.
