About the Author: Dr Jagdish Chander Dagar, Former Assistant Director General and Emeritus Scientist at ICAR, has pursued agricultural, ecological and agroforestry research and has published more than 280 papers in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and in conference/symposium proceedings. He has also authored/ edited 12 books. His research interests include biosaline agriculture, agroforestry, management of natural resources, rehabilitation of degraded lands, biodrainage, ethnobotany, plant ecology, climate change, and sustainable agriculture and policy. He has received several awards in recognition of his work, such as the Sajjad Memorial Gold Medal, ICAR Hari Om Asharam Trust Award, the UGC Swami Pranavananda Saraswati National Award, CSSRI Excellence Award on Soil Salinity & Water Management, and Dr KG Tejwani Award for Excellence in Agroforestry Research & Development. Further, he is fellow of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and several other professional societies. He has also served as a consultant for various national and international agencies, including such as FAO of the UN, CIMMYT, and Haryana Forest Department. Dr Dagar is Chief Editor of the Journal of Soil Salinity & Water Quality.

Dr Rajender Kumar Yadav is currently Principal Scientist & Head of the Division of Soil and Crop Management, ICAR-Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, India. An agronomist by training, he has published 53 research papers in high-impact, peer-reviewed Journals, 46 papers in the proceedings of national and international conferences/symposia and book chapters and written 10 books/bulletins. Dr Yadav received the National Groundwater Augmentation Award (Ministry of Water Resources, Govt. of India), Ganesh Sankar Vidyarthi Puruskar (ICAR), and a Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Australia fellowship. He is a fellow of the India Society of Agronomy and is involved in a number of major national and international projects. He is a fellow and General Secretary of the Indian Society of Soil Salinity & Water Quality and an member of several scientific professional societies.

Dr Parbodh Chander Sharma is currently Director of the Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal (India), and was previously program leader for improvement of rice, wheat, Indian mustard and chickpea for salt tolerance and high yield as Head, Division of Crop Improvement. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of the physiological mechanisms under salinity stress in different crops and was involved in developing salt-tolerant, high-yielding genotypes of Indian mustard (CS 56, CS 58 and CS 60), rice (CSR 46) and wheat (KRL 283), as well as improving three popular mega varieties of rice (Pusa 44, PR 114 and Sarjoo 52) for salinity tolerance by introgression of SALTOL QTL following molecular marker assisted backcross breeding. He was also involved in developing crop and resource management practices for sustainable future cereal-based systems in line with conservation agriculture. He has been awarded fellowships of three professional societies and has been the President of the Indian Society of Soil Salinity and Water Quality since 2016. He has published more than 100 research papers in peer-reviewed, research journals.
