the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...

globally, irrigated agriculture is the largest extractor and the most frequent consumer of groundwater resources, with important groundwater-dependent and largely spread agro-economies. quality of irrigation water is one of the key factors which have either direct or indirect impact on plant growth, soil and water management practices and plant yields. this work aims at highlighting the importa...

Soil and water resources can be severely degraded by salinity when total salt input exceeds output in irrigated agriculture. This study was conducted to examine partitioning of Ca2+, Na+, and Cl- between soil and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under different irrigation regimes with both field and modeling assessments. In drip and sprinkler treatments, the irrigation water was salinize...

in this research, effects of subsurface drip irrigation method on soil and tomato yield was investigated under different salinities and two irrigation management strategies: m1= alternating irrigation with fresh water and saline water, and m2= saline water in the first half of each irrigation event and fresh water in the second half. the experiment was conducted in 320 m2 area including 30 plot...

In arid irrigated regions, the proportion of crop production under deficit irrigation with poorer quality water is increasing as demand for fresh water soars and efforts to prevent saline water table development occur. Remote sensing technology to quantify salinity and water stress effects on forage yield can be an important tool to address yield loss potential when deficit irrigating with poor...

In this research, the effects of irrigation with saline and fresh water through drip irrigation method and using two irrigation management strategies: M1, M2 (M1 is irrigation with fresh water in alternative with saline water, M2 is saline water in first half time of each irrigation event and fresh water in the second half), on the yield, water productivity (WP), soil salinity, plant height...

Rapid blight is a new disease of cool season turf grasses caused by Labyrinthula terrestris. It is problematic in Arizona and ten other states in cool season turfgrasses at sites with elevated salinity of soil and/or irrigation water. L. terrestris colonizes Tifgreen bermudagrasses in the field, but causes no apparent disease. Laboratory trials have shown that as concentrations of sodium chlori...
