Salinity is an ever-increasing problem in agriculture worldwide, especially in South Asia (India, Pakistan) and Australia. Improved genotypes that are well adapted to saline conditions are needed to enhance and sustain production in these areas. A screening of 263 accessions of chickpea, including 211 accessions from ICRISAT’s mini-core collection (10% of the core collection and 1% of the entir...

salinity is a phenomenon that does not satisfy the crop water requirement and leads reduction vegetation. to control of this phenomenon requires appropriate management and monitoring of spatial and temporal salinity variations from the past to the present in this study the spatial and temporal changes of soil salinity of irrigation and drainage network located in garmsar, iran, is investigated ...

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought and salinity stresses on growth parameters and essential oil of lemon balm, two experiments with three replications in a randomized complete block design were applied. five levels of salinity including zero, one, two, three and four ds/m of sodium chloride solution, and five drought stress treatments including 50, 62.5, 75, 87.5 and 100% as available ...

to study the effect of salinity and organic matter on chemical composition and root morphology of pistachio cv. badami, budded on seedling root stocks, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial based on a completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four salinity (zero, 800, 1600 and 2400 mg nacl kg-1 soil) and three organic matter (zero, two and four...

Soil salinity undergoes significant spatial and temporal variations; therefore, salinity mapping is difficult, expensive, and time consuming. However, researchers have mainly focused on arid soils (bare) and less attention has been paid to halophyte plants and their role as salinity indicators. Accordingly, this paper aimed to investigate the relationship between soil properties, such as electr...

to study the effect of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling growth of four medicinal plants, nigella sativa l., cannabis sativa l., trigonella foenum graecum and cynara scolymus l. an experiment was conducted in the botany laboratory of islamic azad university, birjand branch. a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 replications was used as separately for each species. treatment...

in order to investigate effective morpho-physiological traits related to salinity resistance, and their relationship with grain yield as well as study of salinity tolerance and susceptibility indices in 169 barley recombinant inbred lines, a  population of barley derived from a cross between arigashar and igri, this experiments were carried out using alpha lattice design with two replications d...

Salinisation of freshwater has been identified as a serious environmental issue in Australia and around the world. Protective concentrations (trigger values) for salinity can be used to manage salinity impacts, though require locally relevant salinity tolerance information. 72-h acute salinity tolerance values were determined for 102 macroinvertebrates collected from 11 locations in four biolog...

using low quality water on agricultural lands in south of tehran has increased the risk of soil salinity and created problems for some agricultural crops. this study was carried out to determine of soil salinity distribution and to produce salinity map. the mapping of salinity can also identify the saline and non-saline regions that are very effective for land management and choosing kind of cr...
