Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot be neglected nor easily abandoned even with their lower crop yields, especial...


Qadir, ManzoorQuillérou, E.Nangia, V.Murtaza, G.Singh, M.Thomas, Richard J.Drechsel, PayNoble, A.D.[Economics of salt induced land degradation and restoration, natural resources forum]Economics of salt induced land degradation and restoration, natural resources forum

Expansion of irrigated agriculture in the Aral Sea Basin in the second half of the twentieth century led to the conversion of vast tracks of virgin land into productive agricultural systems resulting in significant increases in employment opportunities and income generation. The positive effects ...

Resource degradation in rice farming systems in Thailand endangers food security, but the systems may become more sustainable by combining them with aquaculture and livestock farm enterprises by capitalization of their synergies in resource use and re-use, i.e. by adopting integrated farming syst...

Vyshpolsky, F.F.Mukhamedjanov, K.Bekbaev, U.Ibatullin, S.Yuldashev, TulkunNoble, A.D.Mirzabaev, A.Aw-Hassan, Aden A.Qadir, Manzoor[Optimizing the rate and timing of phosphogypsum application to magnesium-affected soils for crop yield and water productivity enhancement]Optimizing the rate and timing of phosphogypsum application to magnesium-affected soils for crop yield and water productivity enhancement

Water flow and solute transport in soils forms an essential part in many groundwater hydrology studies. This is especially true for Northeast Thailand, where the agricultural land is affected by the soil salinity, which is a widespread and an increasing phenomenon affecting 25% of the agricultura...


Hammecker, C.Maeght, J.L.Grunberger, O.Siltacho, S.Srisruk, K.Noble, A.D.[Quantification and modelling of water flow in rain-fed paddy fields in NE Thailand: evidence of soil salinization under submerged conditions by artesian groundwater]Quantification and modelling of water flow in rain-fed paddy fields in NE Thailand: evidence of soil salinization under submerged conditions by artesian groundwater

Using survey data collected from 250 farmers, this paper evaluates the impact of the Soil Remediation Research Project (SRRP) undertaken by International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Northeast Thailand during 2002-2005. SRRP has demonstrated and promoted the application of clay as a quick...

Simmons, Robert W.Noble, A.D.Pongsakul, P.Sukreeyapongse, O.Chinabut, N.[Cadmium-hazard mapping using a general linear regression model (Irr-Cad) for rapid risk assessment]Cadmium-hazard mapping using a general linear regression model (Irr-Cad) for rapid risk assessment

Research undertaken over the last 40 years has confirmed that the long-term consumption of cadmium (Cd) contaminated rice contributes to human Cd disease. Rice is the staple of millions throughout South and Southeast Asia. Therefore, the ability to accurately assess the risk of rice grain Cd upta...

The paper presents results of a field experiment designed to investigate the potential use of forage legume Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) to ameliorate the structure of a compact layer in sandy soils of Northeast Thailand. Sandy and acidic soils that are common to Northeast Thailand have restricted...

Considering extreme events of climate change and declining availability of appropriate quality water and/or highly productive soil resources for agriculture in dryland regions, the need to produce more food, forage and fibre will necessitate the effective utilization of marginal-quality water and...
