The Biosaline Concept An Approach to the Utilization of Underexploited Resources
There are many areas on this world which might lend themselves to agricultural development and which are, at the present, not used for this purpose. Two of the most obvious are desert areas where the salt concentration is very high, both land and water areas. With the development of new approaches a...
