Poor Emergence of <i>Brassica</i> Species in Saline–Sodic Soil Is Improved by Biochar Addition

Salt-affected soil areas are increasing in the Northern Great Plains (NGP), with patches occurring in some of the most productive croplands. High electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium and/or sulfate concentrations of saline–sodic areas impede the growth and yield of ‘normal’ [corn (<i>Zea ma...
