Salt Movement and Forage Crop Establishment in a Saline-Alkali Soil as Influenced by Ridges and Furrows, Sprinkler Irrigation, and Soil Amendments

An estimated two to four million acres of irrigable saline and alkali soils of the United States return very little income to land owners (17,19). Increased needs for forage crops, and the relatively high salt and alkali tolerance of some improved forage species, once established, suggests a way of...
