Progress of water salinity in the northern plains of Iran.
Head of Mazandaran Agricultural Jihad Organization:.
🔹Studies show that excessive use of groundwater has led to a serious increase in water salinity in various areas of Mazandaran.
🔹Of the 230,000 hectares of rice fields in the district, less than 28% are planted with high-yield varieties. Meanwhile, 30 high-yielding rice varieties have been introduced in Mazandaran, with 6 of them matching the quality of traditional Tarum rice.
🔹Today, all rice varieties from Mazandaran are sold under the Tarum brand, which reflects poor supervision and harms Mazandaran's agricultural reputation.
