ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSES OF IRRIGATED FORAGE SORGHUM WITH SALINE AQUACULTURE EFFLUENT

Halophytes for the treatment of saline aquaculture effluent

Ž . We determined the feasibility of using salt-tolerant plants halophytes as biofilters to remove nutrients from saline aquaculture wastewater. Suaeda esteroa, Salicornia bigeloÕii and Atriplex Ž . barclayana Chenopodiaceae , species with potential as forage and oil seed crops, were grown in Ž . sand in draining containers lysimeters in a greenhouse experiment. They were irrigated to meet evap...

Effects of saline irrigated water on forage quality of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.)

Salinity is a major abiotic stress for crop production in many parts of the world. To evaluate the effects of irrigation with saline water on growth parameters and forage quality of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), a field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications at Isfahan Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Educat...

The potential of a salt-tolerant plant (Distichlis spicata cv. NyPa Forage) to treat effluent from inland saline aquaculture and provide livestock feed on salt-affected farmland.

Dryland salinity is a major problem affecting food production from agricultural land in Australia and throughout the world. Although there is much interest in using saline groundwater to grow marine fish on salt-affected farmland, the disposal of nutrient enriched, saline aquaculture effluent is a major environmental problem. We investigated the potential of the salt-tolerant NyPa Forage plant ...

Yield and Forage Quality of Saltbush Irrigated with Reject

Evaluation of the microbiological quality of wastewater effluent-irrigated maize

Background and Aim: Water crisis in many regions of the world especially arid and semi-arid areas such as Iran, is an important obstacle for socioeconomic development and food security. Under such circumstances, wastewater reuse in agriculture can be regarded an important alternative water source. However, treated wastewater may contain some types of pathogenic microorganisms which can threaten...
