Abstract

Growing crops in salt-affected soils has become increasingly important for sustainable development in arid and semi-arid regions. Knowledge on the responses of alfalfa root development, yield, and quality to soil salinity is critical for assessing the productivity and profitability of salt-affected soils. A field experiment with a total of six treatments combining three soil salinity levels and two biosolids fertilizer levels was conducted in 2018 and 2019 in northwest China. For salinity treatments, the salt addition rates were 2‰, 4‰, and 6‰ of 0–60 cm soil dry weight, while a commercial bio
