Methods for converting unsuitable saline lands into suitable soils using the “Coal Acid Utility Model”
Abstract
The article discusses ways to convert unsuitable saline lands into suitable ones using the “Carbon Dioxide Forming Utility Model” and the integrated use of desalinating biocomposites. A three-year study proved that among the 10 options studied, the best desalinating and restoring soil fertility turned out to be 10-9-8 and 7 options. In these options, the savings in wash water, respectively, were according to the option: 1.46 times; the amount of chloride and sulfate ions decreased: 55-54.2-52.4-51.5 %; cotton yield: 15.8-15.214.4-14.1c/ha yield increase was higher than the control variant. It was also determined on a scientific basis through the use of the “Carbon Dioxide Forming Utility Model” and the complex use of biostrains and immunocomposites for the successful origin of the neutralization process, the amount of harmful salts in the soil decreased, the absorption of phosphorus fertilizers by plants improved and the number of beneficial microorganisms in the soil increased, its structure improved. Also, the uniform distribution of macro and microelements in plants was balanced. By improving the neutralization and structure of the soil, degraded land was restored to fertile. The laws of balance were restored.
