using of saline water for irrigation of crops is known as a strategy of on-farm irrigation water management. in this study, the cyclic using of saline and fresh water and its effect on soil salinity were investigated. field experiments were carried out in randomized complete block design under drip irrigation for maize crop with 9 treatments. the treatments were based on alternative irrigation ...

Salt accumulation within the root zone significantly effects plant growth and development in arid semi-arid regions. Today, use of low-quality irrigation water agricultural production is increasing rapidly, because continuous depletion pollution resources. This means more salt transferred to soil profile. It great importance predetermine practices for sustainable crop production. For this purpo...

Geostatistics provides quantitative indicators to characterize the spatial distribution of soil attributes which follow the regionalized variable theory. The present study aimed at applying Geostatistics to enhance the resolution of a regional soil map at East El-Owienat area which surveyed by one profile for each four kilometers. Studied area was extracted over 71 thousand feddans where six so...

Newly reclaimed areas cover several patches over different regions of Egypt, which have different specific characteristics related to climate, soils, hydrology, etc... . The mechanical farm, which extends over 10,000 feddans fares from south of Alexandria by 62 Km, could be considered one of the most important reclaimed areas at West of Nubaria affected by degradation due to water logging. The ...

In the irrigated western U.S. disposal of drainage water has become a significant economic and environmental liability. Development of irrigation water management practices that reduce drainage water volumes is essential. One strategy combines restricted drainage outflow (by plugging the drains) with deficit irrigation to maximize shallow groundwater consumption by crops, thus reducing drainage...

current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (sd) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) and two water q...

Cotton (Gosspium hirsutum L.) is classified as a salt tolerant crop. However, its yield and fiber quality are negatively affected by soil salinity. Studies on the enzymatic differences in sucrose metabolism under different soil salinity levels are lacking. Therefore, field experiments, using two cotton cultivars, CCRI-79 (salt-tolerant) and Simian 3 (salt-sensitive), were conducted in 2013 and ...

Detecting salinity in early stages using electromagnetic survey and multivariate geostatistical techniques. This research is aimed at increasing the accuracy of detecting soil salinity in early stages of the process. This phenomenon develops at depth; optical remote sensing (e.g. satellite images) cannot be useful in detecting subsoil variability. Therefore Electromagnetic (EM) survey, using EM...

Current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. The experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (SD) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (SSD) and two water q...

Sundarban Mangrove forest is highly productive marine ecosystem where halophilic microbes actively participate in bio-mineralization and biotransformation of minerals. The population of aerobic halophilic microbes was studied to determine their distribution with the availability of different physicochemical parameters with increasing depth of this forest sediment. The present study revealed tha...
