World agricultural scenario is changing rapidly due to inter-sectoral competition for freshwater use and climate change impacts. Productivity of agricultural land is now limiting with the problems of salinity, sodicity, secondary salinization and water-logging. This book addresses a wide range of issues related to genesis and rehabilitation of salt-affected soils. Several site-specific case studies on saline and sodic environment are described in detail by the leading researchers and experts specialized in the field of salinity. This book will serve as a knowledge bank for researchers and policy makers in management of salt-affected soils.
