Water Biomass Environment for Recovery of Saline Soils for Sugarcane Production

Sugarcane crop needs nutrient-rich, high water content soil to give the best yield, but cultivation on saline soils is very slow. Soil salinization affects the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles that cause nutrient deficiencies, variations in the water and salt flows that lead to restricted growth and food production of plant crops, and imbalances in agricultural economics. This study investigates the capacity of water biomass recovery (WBR) to enhance soil fertility and boost sugarcane yield. Organic amendments are used to reduce oxidative stress. Use of salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as bioinoculants is to enhance crop yield and to simplify the existence of plants in extreme salinization. This treatment decreases soil salinity, electrical conductivity (EC), and sodium absorption ratio. The detrimental effects of salinity and metal concentrations are alleviated by the potential of vermicompost (VC), biochar (BC), and FYM. This reveals how VC, BC, and FYM increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes, preserve ionic integrity, alleviate osmotic and oxidative stresses, and modulate gene expression, which collectively enhance plant growth and productivity. The integrated pest management (IPM) approach enables the soil to become biologically diverse, fruitful, and healthier with better chemical and physical qualities and better water quality. WBR is an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to improve sugarcane productivity, reduce environmental degradation, and conserve water.
