Drip irrigation and straw mulch boost tomato yield in saline soil
In a study in the Ganges Delta, researchers tested different ways to help tomatoes grow better in salty soil. They tried using drip irrigation and straw mulch to save water and reduce salt levels. The best results came from using drip irrigation at 80% of the recommended water amount along with straw mulch. This method gave the highest tomato yield and quality, while also improving soil health and reducing salt levels. Overall, combining drip irrigation and straw mulch is a great way to grow tasty tomatoes in salty areas like the Ganges Delta.
