Hi all, good to see you again at this Agronet edition dedicated to salinity, a topic close to my heart. We at Netafim are experiencing salinity effects and fighting it at many locations around the world. We can live with salinity as long as we manage it. The articles in this edition are all about managing salinity in agriculture. |
