STATUS OF SOIL QUALITY ON RECLAIMED LAND IN AN ARID REGION
The study was conducted in Egypt’s El Minya Governorate, where 16 soil samples were taken from reclaimed land and analyzed in the USA using a variety of indices. The study revealed that the soil was moderately alkaline, calcareous, and had salinities ranging from not salty to relatively salty. Most...

| description | The study was conducted in Egypt’s El Minya Governorate, where 16 soil samples were taken from reclaimed land and analyzed in the USA using a variety of indices. The study revealed that the soil was moderately alkaline, calcareous, and had salinities ranging from not salty to relatively salty. Most of the soil samples had a clay texture, with varying mineral compositions. The study also found that phosphate fertilizers had been used to improve soil fertility, but it was cautioned against using them due to the low soil fertility and potential for heavy metal contamination. The study also compared the quality index of soil, the ratio of sodium absorption, and the percent of base saturation to determine soil quality and fertility. Finally, the study found that agriculture was more extensive in 2018 and 2020 than in 2022, which could indicate a lack of farming in the current season. |
