Alternate Use of Good and Saline Irrigation Water (1:1) on the Performance of Tomato Cultivar

Effect of Different Salinity Level on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Production under Climate Change Condition in Bangladesh

“…The maximum fruit yield (36.57 t ha -1 ) was produced by the plants grown under the T 1 treatment (Irrigation with fresh water) whereas the lowest fruit yield (21.87 t ha ). Elamin & Al-Wehaibi [21] observed that the most sensitive plants may suffer physiological damages, with subsequent, significant yield loss, while moderately sensitive to tolerant plants are still able to produce acceptable yields.…”

Effect of cyclic irrigation using moderately saline and non‐saline water on onion (Allium cepa L.) yield and soil salinization in semi‐arid areas of Northern Ethiopia*

“…The use of poor quality water for irrigation has been widely documented (for example Feigin et al, 1991;Elamin and Al-Wehaibi, 2005;Minhas et al, 2007).…”

“…Scarcity of fresh water especially in arid and semi‐arid regions of the world has been a major challenge for irrigated agriculture. In response to the increasing scarcity of good quality water for irrigation, farmers are forced to use poor quality water such as brackish, saline or sodic groundwater, drainage water and wastewater (Feigin et al, 1991; Elamin and Al‐Wehaibi, 2005; Qureshi, 2014). For this reason, vast irrigation areas are threatened by salinization, yield reduction and land abandonment (Rhoades et al, 1992; Szabolcs, 1994; Crescimanno and De Santis, 2004; Crescimanno, 2007; Qureshi, 2014).…”

Innovative irrigation water management: a strategy to increase yield and reduce salinity hazard of small scale irrigation in Ethiopia

“…Scarcity of fresh water especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world has been a major challenge in irrigated agriculture. In response to the increasing scarcity of good quality water for irrigation, farmers are forced to use poor quality water such as brackish, saline or sodic ground water, drainage water and wastewater (Elamin and Al-Wehaibi, 2005;Feigin et al, 1991;Qureshi, 2014).For this reason, vast irrigation areas are threatened by salinization, yield reduction and land abandonment (Crescimanno, 2007;Crescimanno et al, 2004;Qureshi, 2014;Rhoades et al, 1992;Szabolcs, 1994).…”

“…The use of poor quality water for irrigation has been widely documented (for example Feigin et al, 1991;Elamin and Al-Wehaibi, 2005;Minhas et al, 2007). Conjunctive use of water for irrigation has been one strategy to utilize water resource where good and poor quality waters coexist and can be applied by blending or applying a cyclic method (Grattan and Rhoades, 1990).…”
