continuing agricultural expansion and urban development in saudi arabia, (located in an arid climate), together with an increased demands for more water supplies, calls for more efficient irrigation practices, and an increase in crop water productivity (cwp). throughout the present study, a deficit irrigation system was investigated for its impact on soil salinity, crop response factor (ky), cw...

in order to evaluate the morphological changes of rice seedlings (variety of neda and fajr) under salinity management in 1394 was conducted in islamic azad university, ayatollah amoli. this factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two genotypes (varieties neda and fajr) in four salinity levels (zero, 40, 80 and 120 mm sodium chloride) and was performed in triplicate. results ...

Salinity is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing plant growth and development in the 21st century. Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound and signal molecule involved in the regulation of plants responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. This greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine effects of SA application on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) responses to salinit...

Drought and salinity are two major abiotic stresses, similarly and/or differently affecting physiological processes of wheat. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the impacts of drought and salinity on wheat. A pot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with three replications in the research greenhouse of Yasouj University in 2015. Treatments included different l...

In this study, we assessed the combined effect of Cd concentration and salinity, on Cd uptake and mortality rate of Littorina littorea, collected along a salinity and pollution gradient in the Western Scheldt estuary (The Netherlands). Animals kept at their field salinity levels were exposed to three Cd concentrations (i.e. 10, 40 and 320 microM), while animals kept in 10 microM of Cd were subj...

Salinity is an important constraining factor in the way of crop production around the world. Plant nutrition management could alleviate the harmful effects of salinity. In order to evaluate the interaction effects of Zinc availability and different levels of salinity, an experiment was conducted using four levels of zinc(0, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) and three levels of NaCl salinity of irrigation wa...

using of saline water for irrigation of crops is known as a strategy of on-farm irrigation water management. in this study, the cyclic using of saline and fresh water and its effect on soil salinity were investigated. field experiments were carried out in randomized complete block design under drip irrigation for maize crop with 9 treatments. the treatments were based on alternative irrigation ...

Turfgrass nutrient uptake may be differentially affected by different salts. The objective of this study was to compare nutrient uptake in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as affected by carbonate, chloride, and sulfate under iso-osmotic, iso-Na+ strength conditions. 'Tar Heel II' and 'Wolfpack' cultivars were subjected to NaCl, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, CaCl2, NaCl+ CaCl2, Na2CO3+ CaCl2, and Na...
