Comparison of transient state models that include salinity and matric stress effects on plant yield
Transient-state models that account for continually changing salinity and matric stress on crop yields have been developed by several research groups. The objective of this research was to compare the simulated yields of ...
Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
The Halophytic Flora of Syria
The halophytic flora of Syria fills a major gap in the botanical literature of the Middle East. It presents the first comprehensive list of the country’s halophytic (salt-tolerant) plants – including six species recorded ...
Treatments and economic aspects of growing rice and wheat crops during reclamation of tile drained saline‐sodic soils using brackish waters
We carried out three field experiments on salt‐affected soils having tile drainage in place, which differed in ambient levels of electrical conductivity and sodium adsorption ratio. The 3‐year cropping sequence consisted ...
Nutrient monitoring of sewage water irrigation: Impacts for soil quality and crop nutrition
Agriculture in the Middle East region, specifically crop production (mainly cereals and food and forage legumes), is invariably limited by low rainfall and thus soil moisture. Although irrigation is contributing to increased ...
Present status of salt-affected and waterlogged soils in Dasht-e-Azadegan and management strategies for their sustainable utilization
Salt-prone land and water resources are major impediments to the optimal utilization of crop production systems in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world, including Iran (Alizadeh et al. 2004; Moghaddam and Koocheki ...
Improving Crop Growth and Water Productivity on Salt-affected Soils in the Lower Karkheh River Basin
Research Report no. 4 of the CPWF project: Improving on-farm agricultural water productivity in the Karkheh river basin (PN8).
Potential use of treated wastewater for supplemental irrigation of cereals Algeria
This report explores the different aspects of using treated wastewater as a source of supplemental irrigation for enhancing productivity under rainfed conditions in Algeria.
Improved water and land productivities in the saline areas of the Nile Delta
The study was conducted in El-Serw (New Alexandria) located about 32 km south of Damietta, Damietta Governorate, El-Manzala Lake is to the east, Dakahlia Governorate lies to the south, and to the west are El-Sharqawia canal ...
Enhancing soil fertility and irrigation management in the new lands
The new lands are represented by the El- Bustan area. The soils of the site are mostly sandy with low fertility and relatively low water holding capacity and crops are grown exclusively under irrigation using modern ...
