Understanding Waterlogging in Agriculture by Farhan Kazi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Waterlogging occurs when soil becomes saturated with water, depriving the crop root zone of oxygen. It can be caused by high water tables or capillary action bringing water into the root zone. Waterlogging reduces crop growth and yields by creating anaerobic conditions, allowing water-loving weeds to thrive, preventing tillage, and lowering soil temperatures. Detection methods include observing reduced yields and early crop maturity. Preventive measures include controlling canal seepage, limiting percolatio
