“…where LR is the minimum leaching requirement needed to control salts with ordinary surface irrigation methods, ECw is the electrical conductivity of the irrigation water in millimhos per centimeter at 25 • C, and ECe is the electrical conductivity of the saturation paste extract of the soil reported in millimhos per centimeter at 25 • C. Applied water was determined as documented by Giriappa [42] in Equation (4).…”

“…The projected impacts of climate change threaten global food security [3], as well as an increase in extreme water scarcity that restricts agricultural production and expansion, especially in the Mediterranean region [4,5] as well as Egypt [6]. As a result, researchers worldwide are looking for innovative solutions that permit more efficient utilization of water resources to conserve water, and increase crop yields and water productivity [7].…”

“…The deficit irrigation strategy has been discovered to be a beneficial, sustainable production strategy [10], and has widespread use in various Mediterranean countries [11]. Several contributions, in this respect, have documented the implications of DI techniques in terms of enhanced efficiency of water use and fruit quality in various citrus species such as Mandarin [1,4], sweet orange [8,12,13], lime fruit [14], and grapefruit [15,16].…”

A two-year experiment using ‘Murcott’ mandarin (Citrus reticulata) was conducted under deficit irrigation (DI) strategies with an anti-stressor application and then stored. The three DI regimes were 70% crop evapotranspiration (70% ETC), 85% ETc, and full irrigation (100% ETc). Anti-stressor treatments consisted of a foliar application of either sodium nitroprusside (SNP), selenium nanoparticles (NanoSe), microalgae (Spirulina platensis), or a non-treated control. Mean water productivity values were highest for trees at 70% ETc and 85% ETc when they were sprayed with microalgae, which was 42% and 51% greater, respectively, compared to control trees at 100% ETc, but only 6.5% and 13% greater, respectively, compared to trees sprayed with microalgae at 100% ETc. Trees sprayed with microalgae at 100% ETc or 85% ETc had the highest and second-highest fruit yields. The percentage of fruit water loss after 15 d storage at either 1.5 °C + 90% RH or 16 ± 2 °C + 60–65% RH was reduced at all DI regimes when trees were sprayed with an anti-stressor compared to control trees at the same DI regime. Trees sprayed with 150 μmol L−1 SNP had the only fruit peel that maintained the carotenoid content after cold storage. In general, trees sprayed with SNP were most successful at each DI regime for reduced Malondialdehyde (MDA), but after 15 d of cold storage, only trees sprayed with 150 μmol L−1 SNP at 85% ETc or 100% ETc and/or trees sprayed with NanoSe at 70% ETc had fruit that maintained low MDA content. Catalase and peroxidase enzyme activities and proline content were enhanced when trees were sprayed with 150 μmol L−1 SNP during DI strategies. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of deficit irrigation combined with anti-stressor applications to improve water productivity, fruit yields, and post-storage quality of ‘Murcott’ mandarin trees. These findings offer valuable insights into sustainable citrus production under limited water resources.

In this paper, the effects of irrigation with different water quality on the soil characteristics of 8 kinds of garden plants were analyzed. The results showed that soil pH (ranging at 7.76-8.73) had no signi cant difference in different soils compared with the contrast treatment. Under the reclaimed water irrigation, the content of soil total salinity, chloride ions and water soluble sodium in soil of most plants was averagely 160.3%, 83.3% and 67.5% higher than that of tap water, respectively. The in uences of reclaimed water irrigation on soil nutrients were changed with the types of plants.The content of soil organic matter and the available potassium showed no signi cant differences in most plants.Compared with the tap water irrigation, the content of alkaline nitrogen in in 5 plants increased (averagely 25.8%) after 5-year irrigation with reclaimed water. In terms of soil microorganism, the increase of soil microbial population, including bacteria, fungus and Actinomycetes, has been promoted by different levels of reclaimed water irrigation, showing increasing trend with the increasing content of reclaimed water from 0%, 50-100%. Moreover, the number of bacteria and fugus is closely related with the content of soil organic matter, available potassium and effective phosphorus. However, the number of Actinomycetes is determined by the content of available potassium.
