Special Issue: Salt Damage and Food Production of the World (Review) Salt-affected Soils and Management in

* * Somsri ARUNIN and Pirach PONGWICHIAN

The total area of salt-affected soils in Thailand are 2.302 million hectares, of which the inland saline soils are 1.904 million hectares and the rest are in the coastal areas. Slightly to moderately salt-affected inlands are generally used for rice cultivation or other cash crops. Appropriate agronomic practices include selection of salt tolerant species, use of organic amendments and green manure. Management of severely salt-affected soils requires rehabilitation, leaching and drainage, mulching and change in cropping pattern. Halophytes have a role in revegetation and contribute to environmental remediation. In addition, reforestation on the recharge uplands has been recommended to lower groundwater hence, control salination in the discharge zone. Engineering and agronomic on-farm management practices for coastal salt-affected soils must be tailored to cope with the specific agro-ecosystem. More integrated research of various fields are needed.

Salinity causes major soils of the northeast are scattered in the Sakon Nakhon and problems on soil and crop to farmers in remediation and Korat basins. The source of salt in this area is halite in the management practices. The inland salt-affected soils in Mahasarakham Formation, generally occurs at depths of Thailand are formed through geochemical process and about 200 m exposed at or near the surface due to the angle distributed in the northeastern part of about 1.841 million of dip of the strata or by development of salt domes 3, 4). ha while coastal salt-affected soils originated from seawater Besides the inherent salt-bearing nature of the parent scattered along the coast of 0.425 million ha where as 0.063 materials, human interventions such as deforestation million ha are found in other region 2).

Remediation of salt-affected soils depends upon the 2.2 Management of inland salt-affected soil degree of salinity and specific salination processes through Management of inland salt-affected soil depends upon the engineering and agronomic management approach which degree of salinity and the prevalent local salination includes leaching and drainage, land leveling, deep plowing, processes. In general, salt-affected soils in the northeast are surface mulching, use of organic amendments, selection of high in sodium and chloride content, sandy and low in salt tolerant species or varieties and integrated management fertility, with approximately 75 % under rainfed lowland rice practices.

Salinity adversely influences growth, leading to amendments such as green manure, farmyard manure or significant reductions in yields due to impeded water uptake, compost to increase soil fertility and improve soil physical imbalance of plant nutrients and accumulation of toxic properties 6).
