the effects of sodium chloride (nacl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 ds m-1), 2.5 dsm-1, 5.0 ds m-1, 7.5 ds m-1 and 10.0 ds m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (rosa hybrida l.) cultivars viz. ‘kardinal’, ‘angelique’ and ‘gold medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

Salinity represents a critical environmental factor for all aquatic organisms, including fishes. Environments of stable salinity are inhabited by stenohaline fishes having narrow salinity tolerance ranges. Environments of variable salinity are inhabited by euryhaline fishes having wide salinity tolerance ranges. Euryhaline fishes harbor mechanisms that control dynamic changes in osmoregulatory ...

In this research, the effects of irrigation with saline and fresh water through drip irrigation method and using two irrigation management strategies: M1, M2 (M1 is irrigation with fresh water in alternative with saline water, M2 is saline water in first half time of each irrigation event and fresh water in the second half), on the yield, water productivity (WP), soil salinity, plant height...

A new method to study 3D saline front advancement in coastal fractured aquifers has been presented. Field groundwater salinity was measured in boreholes of the Bari (Southern Italy) coastal aquifer with depth below water table. Then, the Ghyben-Herzberg freshwater/saltwater (50%) sharp interface and saline front position were determined by model simulations of the freshwater flow in groundwater...

this study was carried out to determine the appropriate size of caspian trout ( salmo caspius kessler, 1877) juveniles for releasing into the rivers that enter south of the caspian sea for stock enhancement, or possibility of cage culture in the caspian sea. a total of 1611 specimens in 4 weight groups of 5, 10, 15 and 20g were exposed to 3 salinity trials which include caspian sea water (11- 1...

A field experiments were conducted for three growing seasons (2007 to 2009) at five different sites of soil types and salinity levels. Five different ground water qualities were used to irrigate five fields each with area of 50 to 54 hectares planted with wheat crop and the irrigation system used at each field was center pivot sprinkler system. The irrigated fields were located at different loc...

We used regression analyses of water samples from 18 lakes, nine rivers, and one spring in Ethiopia to (a) test the hypothesis that water bodies of relatively higher salinity (K25 > 1000 hiS cm -1) have a different conductivity to salinity relationship than waters of lower salinity (K25 < 1000 taS cm-1), and (b) develop models to predict total cations and salinity from conductivity that can be ...

salinity is the major limiting factor for plant growth and crop productivity. salt stress is effective on physiological characteristics, morphology, anatomy, chemical composition and water content of plant tissue. pulses are the second of food source after the cereals for human. among the pulses, the bean has special importance. in order to investigate the effect of silicon on the physiological...

this study was carried out within 7 months in dikjeh area, golestan province, iran. during that time the relationship between water salinity and ec with hematocrite, blood serum ionic parameters, growth, survival and stress indices in common carp (cyprinus carpio) were investigated. hematocrite as stress index was measured by hemocitometry standard method using microhematocrite reader. fish bio...
