Abstract
The uneven distribution of freshwater resources has constrained the development of facility vegetable industries in arid and semi-arid regions.
While abundant brackish water resources can alleviate the shortage of irrigation water, to achieve the long-term secure usage of brackish water and preventing secondary soil salinization has become an urgent issue.
The in situ vermicomposting contains s series activities, like digging, digestion and casting by the earthworms.
Above processes can transform organic waste into soil fertility.
Additionally, biochar is produced by pyrolysis, which can transform organic waste into a porous and carbon-rich adsorption material.
The combined application of these two materials has a positive effect on preventing the accumulation of salt in soil layers.
Several experiments have verified that the application of in situ vermicomposting with biochar not only optimized soil structure also improved soil nutrients.
Above improvement in the soil environment further increased the density of beneficial soil microbials.
Under irrigation with brackish water, the cucumber can also form salt tolerance in this soil environment, and then strong salt tolerance provides a guarantee for high quality and yield of cucumbers.
There will list some examples and discuss the possible mechanisms.
