%X This book is a systematic monograph on irrigated agriculture in arid areas. It comprehensively discusses the theory, methods and practical issues of irrigated land management. The book begins with the history of irrigation and an overview of global irrigation areas, and then systematically analyzes the formation and classification of soil in arid areas (especially saline soil and alkaline earth), the physical basis of the soil-water-plant interaction, and the adaptability of crops to saline environments. The book focuses on the selection and water quality evaluation of irrigation water sources, measurement methods of irrigation water volume, various irrigation techniques and their application practices to different crops, and discusses in detail the impact of irrigation on soil properties. On this basis, the book devotes a large space to discuss improvement measures for irrigated saline soil (including the design and construction of drainage systems, chemical improvement and farming techniques), the regulation of soil physical and biological properties, the maintenance of soil organic matter, and the application principles and methods of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and compound fertilizers, and a special chapter discusses special soil management issues in orchards, vegetable fields and family gardens. The book has comprehensive content and rigorous structure. It has both theoretical depth and practical guidance. It is suitable for reference and use by professionals in the fields of pedology, agriculture, water conservancy engineering and other fields as well as teachers and students in agricultural colleges.
