Irrigation water salinity and N fertilization: Effects on ammonia oxidizer abundance, enzyme activity and cotton growth in a drip irrigated cotton field

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Use of saline water in irrigated agriculture has become an important means for alleviating water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this field experiment was to evaluate the effects of irrigation water salinity and N fertilization ...

Soil-specific strategic irrigation: saline-sodic water as an irrigation resource [PDF]

, 2018
Declining water quality and quantity is a threat to the production of food and fibre worldwide. While irrigation using marginal quality saline-sodic (MQSS) water is emerging as a more common practice, it is still an under-utilised resource because of its

Additional Saline Water Irrigation Improves Winter Wheat Productivity Under Deficit Irrigation in the North China Plain

Agronomy
Due to limited freshwater availability for winter wheat and summer maize, grain production in the annual double-cropping system of the low plain surrounding the Bohai Sea in North China is strongly influenced by inter-annual rainfall variability.

ON THE ECONOMICS OF IRRIGATION WITH SALINE WATER: A DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

Natural Resource Modeling, 1995
The authors treat an interesting mathematical model from the area of ``mathematical ecology''. They construct a dynamic model of soil irrigation process and analyse its negative consequences -- the soil salinity problem. The model takes the form of an optimum control problem with discounted profits maximization function. The paper includes the proof of

Irrigation Water Source Matters: Saline Groundwater Irrigation Lowers Date Palm Root-Associated Fungal Richness and Alters Their Community Structural Patterns

Phytobiomes Journal
Saline groundwater irrigation is commonly used in arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa for date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) cultivation, yet little is known about its impact on communities of root-associated fungi (RAF).

The Clogging Rules of Ceramic Emitter in Irrigation Using Saline Water with Different EC

, 2019
Infiltration irrigation with saline water is a more effective method than drip irrigation to alleviate water scarcity worldwide, but so far, no report has discussed the clogging rules of ceramic emitters, a major component of infiltration irrigation ...
