Remediation of salt and boron-affected soil by addition of organic matter: an investigation into improving tomato plant productivity

To mitigate the effect of salt stress and excess B in soil and consequently increase crop yield and improve the behaviour of cv. "Poncho Negro" there are low-cost strategies such as the application of organic amendments. This study aimed at remediating excess salt (150 mM NaCl) and B (20 m...
