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 ...
Wastewater Use in Agriculture: Agronomic Considerations
Under water scarce conditions and in the absence of alternative sources, wastewater generated by domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors is used worldwide to irrigate a range of crops. The sustainable use of wastewater ...
Implication of groundwater fluctuation on the seasonal salt dynamic in the Harran Plain, south-eastern Turkey
Inefficient farm-level water management aggravates groundwater fluctuation and salt accumulation particularly in arid and semi-arid irrigated agriculture. Inappropriate water management practices in the Harran Plain are a ...
Driving forces for sodium removal during phytoremediation of calcareous sodic and saline–sodic soils: a review
Sodic and saline–sodic soils are characterized by the occurrence of sodium (Na+) at levels that result in poor physical properties and fertility problems, adversely affecting the growth and yield of most crops. These soils ...
Long-Term Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Soil Heavy Metal Contamination in Peri-urban Areas of Aleppo, Syria
The present study was conducted to assess the heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) distribution in soils of the area that had been under wastewater irrigation for more than 25 years in peri-urban Aleppo, Syria. Wastewater ...
Development of Magnesium-Dominant Soils Under Irrigated Agriculture in Southern Kazakhstan
Irrational irrigation practices in the Arys Turkestan Canal command area in the southern part of Kazakhstan have led to the formation of soils with poor physical and chemical properties. To study whether irrigation and ...
Enhancing the productivity of high-magnesium soil and water resources in Central Asia through the application of phosphogypsum
Recent evidences from some irrigated areas worldwide, such as Central Asia, suggest that water used for irrigation contains magnesium (Mg2+) at levels higher than calcium (Ca2+). Excess levels of Mg2+ in irrigation water ...
Cadmium Contamination of Soils and Crops by Long Term Use of Raw Effluent, Ground and Canal Waters in Agricultural Lands
Water scarcity in agriculture sector forced farmers to use city wastewater without any regard of its quality effects on environment and resultant contamination of soils and plants, particularly with heavy metals A survey ...
Amelioration and nutrient management strategies for sodic and alkali soils
Sodic and alkali soils are characterized by the occurrence of excess sodium (Na+) to levels that can adversely affect soil structure and disturb the availability of nutrients for plant growth. Structural problems in these ...
Global, Regional, And Country Level Need For Data On Wastewater Generation, Treatment, And Use
Irrigation with wastewater supports agricultural production and the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers in many parts of the world. Considering the importance of better wastewater management at the local and ...
