ABSTRACT

In Ghana approximately 318,000 ha of arable land in the Volta region is affected by salt and excess sodium. This aspect of chemical land degradation has adversely affected agricultural productivity in this part of the country. The application of gypsum (CaS04 (2H2O)) to soils affected by salt is widely used  because ityistoeas apply, easy to acquire and economical.  It is against this background that the physico-chemical properties and agronomic performance of NERICA  L19  rice was  investigated on  three  salt-affecteddsoils  amen  ed  with  gypsum.Three profile pits were dug to a depth of 2.0 m from three different salt-affected sites namely Anyako, Anyenui and Atiehife at the Volta region. The soils were sampled and their morphological  and  physico-chemical  properties  analysed
