Sustainable crop production in the coastal zone of the Indian Sundarbans presents a significant challenge due to seasonal salinity build-up, particularly during the post-monsoon season. The measurement of apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) of soil using electromagnetic induction (EM) technique h...
