EFFECTS OF ORGANIC MANURES ON THE RECLAMATION OF SALINE SOILS AND GROWTH OF INDIAN SPINACH.....

A pot experiment was carried out to see how different organic amendments affected the growth of Indian Spinach (Basella alba) or Puishak (local name) grown on saline soil. For this study, four different treatments were used: control (T0), commercial compost (T1), poultry manure (T2), and a combination of compost and poultry manure (T3). At the conclusion of the experiment, the pH level had dropped from 8.1 to 7.6 and the electrical conductivity concentration had dropped from 7.2 to 4.2 dS/m. T3 > T2 > T1 > T0 were the favourable results of treatments in that order. Treatment T3, which combined compost and poultry manure, was the most successful in lowering the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in the experimental soils. The highest biomass yield was discovered at T3, with an increase of 166 percent over T0.
