Irrigation and soil management strategies for using saline-sodic water in a cotton–wheat rotation
Abstract
Consequent to population growth and high living standards in several arid and semi-arid regions, competition for freshwater among different water-use sectors is expected to increase vis-à-vis its decreased allocation to irrigation. Non-conventional water resources, such as saline and/or sodic drainage and groundwater represent complementary supply to narrow the gap between freshwater availability and demand. We carried out a 3-year field study …
