Growth and yield of corn irrigated with saline water

Abstract: Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in Brazil and is cultivated in all regions, including the semi-arid area of Brazil, where the occurrence of irrigation water with high concentration of salts is common. Evaluating the growth and yield of the maize hybrid 'AG 6690' irrigated with water of different salinity levels was the objective of this experiment. Sowing was performed in pots with 12 seeds on , as quais foram alcançadas pela adição de NaCl e CaCl 2 na proporção equivalente de 1:1. O peso seco de todas… Show more

“…The dry matter production of grains (Figure 3) decreased due to the increasing of the concentration of salts in irrigation water. The action of these salts can go beyond a simple decrease in soil water potential to cellular injury caused by oxidative stress in plants (GARCIA et al, 2007b), and these effects together result in reduced productivity (FERREIRA et al, 2007;AGUIAR NETO et al, 2008;BLANCO et al, 2008). The yields obtained were 4,362, 4,366, 3,606 and 3,110 kg ha -1 respectively for T1, T2, T3 and T4.…”

“…Salinity affects the dry and fresh mass (Tabatabaei 2006;Blanco et al 2008;Demir and Mazi 2008) the development and the productivity of cultivated species (Neto and Nogueira 1999;Kaya et al 2007;Zheng et al 2008;Demiral 2009, Galvan-Ampudia andTesterink 2011). Reduction in the growth rate of the leaf can represent an adaptation to salt stress, since increased levels of salts in the soil impedes the uptake of water by the plant (Carillo et al 2005) and the reduction in leaf area limits transpiration (Neumann 1997).…”

“…For fertigation purposes, the electrical conductivity (EC) can be expressed by the soil solution electrical conductivity (ECs) in unsaturated conditions, and by the saturation extract electric conductivity (ECse), i.e., EC saturated soil solution. Electrical conductivity values at certain levels may cause decreased productivity (BLANCO et al 2008). …”
