Optimizing Seedling Number and Hill Spacing: A Way Forward to Harness Productivity Potential of Salt-Tolerant Rice Cultivars in Salt-Affected Soils

Harnessing the potential of sodic soils in the Indo-Gangetic plains necessitates the development of salt-tolerant varieties and matching management practices as the management practices required for rice production in salt-affected soils are entirely different from those in normal soils. Field experiments with the main plots comprising two treatments T1:2 seedlings and T2:4 seedlings hill−1, subplot three hill spacing treatments S1: 15 × 15 cm,...
