The impact of saltwater intrusion on the crop areas at Pantai Punggur, Batu Pahat, Johor
Saltwater intrusion has been a growing issue affecting coastal communities throughout the ages. Most agricultural land globally is located in low-lying coastal regions that have been reclaimed.

| description | Saltwater intrusion has been a growing issue affecting coastal communities throughout
the ages. Most agricultural land globally is located in low-lying coastal regions that have been
reclaimed. The stability and resilience of a microbial community play a crucial role in
determining how soil reacts to and recovers from environmental challenges. However, land
response to periodic coastal flooding and salt stress was studied in this study. The study has been
conducted around Pantai Punggur, Batu Pahat. The soil sample was collected from different
salinity levels, based on 0% serving as the control group and other salinity levels of 1.6%, 2.0%,
and 2.4%. Soil samples were tested in the laboratory based on the soil salinity level and microbial
activities. This laboratory test found that the electrical conductivity (EC) value range is 0.0035
dS/m to 1.297 dS/m, while for the pH value range is pH 7.27 to pH 7.52, there are also 20%
microbial activities in the soil. Using gypsum as a soil amendment can reduce saline water in the
soil by 15% to 25%. In conclusion, this experimental study helps minimize soil salinity and
improve soil structure based on the existing literature on saltwater intrusion's impact on alkaline
soil's agricultural fertility |
