Physiology of ‘Paluma’ guava under irrigation with saline water and nitrogen fertilization

Application of the SWAP model to simulate water-salt transport under deficit irrigation with saline water

The agro-hydrological Soil–Water–Atmosphere–Plant (SWAP) model was calibrated and validated to simulate water–salt transport based on field experiments in an arid region of China. The simulation results show lower soil water content but higher salt concentration under deficit irrigation. Soil water and salinity below 95 cm at 80% evapotranspiration (ETc ) treatments and 65 cm at 60% ETc treatme...

Response of tomato to irrigation with saline water applied by different irrigation methods and water management stratigies

In a field experiment the effects of irrigation with saline drainage water (seasonal average of 4.5 dS/m) and non-saline water (0.55 dS/m) applied by two different water management strategies (cyclic or blended saline water with non-saline water in different ratios) and two different irrigation methods (drip or furrow) were studied on growth and productivity of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum M...

Modification of transient state analytical model under different saline groundwater depths, irrigation water salinities and deficit irrigation for quinoa

Salinization of soil is primarily caused by capillary rise from saline shallow groundwater orapplication of saline irrigation water. In this investigation, the transient state analytical modelwas modified to predict water uptake from saline shallow groundwater, actual cropevapotranspiration, soil water content, dry matter, seed yield and soil salinity under differentsaline groundwater depths, i...

Safflower model for simulation of growth and yield under various irrigation strategies, planting methods and nitrogen fertilization

Development and use of crop growth models is an effective tool for agricultural planningand decision making in agricultural industry. Besides, the drought and limited supplies of waterin many areas of the world has increased attention to favourable strategies in farm managementsuch as efficient irrigation and planting methods. The objective of this study was to develop acrop model for safflower...
