“…Na , Ca 2 , Cl À and SO 2À 4 ) reduced leaf B concentration in chickpea grown in pots filled with loamy sand. Salinity (comprised of mixed salts) was also found to reduce the negative response of many field-grown crops to high levels of boron in the irrigation water (Ferreyra et al, 1997). In other studies using a mixture of chloride and sulphate salts, El-Motaium et al (1994) found that salinity reduced B uptake and accumulation in the stem of several Prunus rootstocks thereby decreasing Btoxicity symptoms.…”

“…Despite the common occurrence of high boron and high salinity in many parts of the world, very little research has been done to study the interaction of the two (Ferreyra et al, 1997). From sand-culture experiments conducted in a greenhouse, researchers found that wheat responded to boron in the soil solution independently of salinity (NaCl CaCl 2 ) (Bingham et al, 1987).…”

“…Despite the common occurrence of high boron and high salinity in many parts of the world, very little attention has been given to the study of the interaction between the two [62]. For different species, a negative relationship between B and SO 4 2-and Cl -concentrations in tissues has been found [75], suggesting that SO 4 2-and Cl -could be responsible for the salinity-induced reduction in tissue B.…”

-The osmotic and ionic effects of the electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution and its interactions with climatic factors and cultural practices on tomato yield and fruit quality are reviewed. Adjusting the salinity of the nutrient solution allows growers to modify water availability to the crop and hence improve fruit quality. At some point, however, increases in salinity limit marketable yield. Under high ECs, fruit size is inversely related to EC while the dry matter content of the fruit is linearly increased by the EC. The exact rate of yield decline varies with interactions between cultivars, environmental factors, composition of the nutrient solution, and crop management. According to different studies and growth conditions, salinities higher than 2.3-5.1 mS⋅cm -1 result in an undesirable yield reduction, while ECs of 3.5-9.0 mS⋅cm -1 improve tomato fruit quality. Manipulating the indoor climate such as humidity, temperature and ambient CO 2 level may offset the negative effect of high salinity on yield and fruit quality such as blossom-end rot. The light intensity received by the plant directly affects the quantity of photoassimilates available to the fruit, it also increases their sugar: acid ratio, and influences the transpiration rate and the water uptake by the plant, which in turn, affect the EC around the root. Increasing the EC with NaCl reduces titratable acids, potassium and nitrogen in the fruit but also increases their sodium content. NaCl enhances the sweetness of tomato fruit and improves the overall flavour intensity. Depending upon the composition of the saline solution, ion toxicities or nutritional deficiencies may arise because of a predominance of specific ion or competition effects among cations and anions. Keeping the proper nutrient levels and ratios between all the nutrients in the root environment for each growth stage of a crop should be targeted in order to achieve high yields and high quality products throughout the cropping season. Several EC and fertigation management regimes could improve fruit quality and are presented in this review.Lycopersicon esculentum / tomato / electrical conductivity / salinity / fruit quality / greenhouse Résumé -Influence de la régie de la conductivité électrique de la solution nutritive sur le rendement et la qualité de la tomate de serre. Cette revue de littérature porte sur les effets osmotiques et ioniques de la conductivité électrique (CE) de la solution nutritive et de ses liens avec les facteurs climatiques et culturaux sur le rendement et la qualité de la tomate de serre. L'ajustement de la salinité de la solution nutritive permet aux producteurs de modifier la disponibilité en eau pour la plante de façon à contrôler la qualité des fruits. Cependant, des salinités élevées affectent le rendement vendable. Sous une haute CE, le calibre des fruits est inversement relié à la CE alors que le contenu en matière sèche des fruits augmente linéairement avec la CE. Le taux de réduction du rendement varie selon les interactions e...

“…These practices may need to be modified and new practices introduced through adding the suitable irrigation water quantities in the optimum times when saline water is applied. Many factors should be considered in making management strategies such as crops, crop cultivars, local climate, soil type, salinity levels, irrigation method and water management practices ( Ferreyra et al, 1997;Shannon &Grieve, 1999 andBustan et al, 2004) . Several brackish water irrigation experiments were carried out in open fields on loamy soil to sand dunes and the results evidently revealed that if suitable management practices were adapted, it was feasible to irrigate crops using relatively high saline water under arid conditions.…”

T HE PURPOSE of this experiment is to elaborate the mode of distribution of both moisture and salt under drip irrigation system which is widely regarded as the most promising system in combination with saline water under conditions of El-Sheikh Zewied area-North Sinai (Lithic Torripsamments) during the summer growing season (March -June) 2015. It is just a trial to suggest a suitable irrigation management to increase production of a vegetable crop (Squash, (cucurbita pepo). Two methods of drip irrigation system were applied, i.e., surface and sub-surface with three quantities of irrigation water, i.e., 80, 100 and 120% of evapotranspiration calculated by meteorological equation of Penman-Montieth. Two emitter's discharge rates, i.e., 2 and 4 liter/ hour were used to irrigate squash with saline water (4.5 dS/m). Split -split plot design statistically was applied.1-There is a remarkable decrease in soil moisture content apart from drippers horizontally and vertically. 2-Irrigation water applied as a reference evapotranspiration calculated by penman-Montieth showed that water requirement followed the order increasing as 120 %100 < % < 80 % under 4L/h dripper discharge rate. 3-Surface drip irrigation system cased more soil moisture content than subsurface one. 4-Dripper discharge rate 4L/h surpassed for soil moisture content which increased horizontally, while it increased vertically under 2L/h. 5-Salt concentration in soil increased apart from drippers by increasing irrigation water quantities and dripper discharge rates through growth periods. 6-Surface drip irrigation system help roots to be tolerable salt concentration by moving salts in the two up and down directions apart from roots. 7-Salt concentration significantly increased at 5% level growth season under surface and subsurface drip irrigation system as 90 < 60 < 30 < 1 days, respectively. 8-Biological yield decreased by using salt water under 2L/h dripper discharge and subsurface drip irrigation system, while the best water and salt distribution was conducted in the root zone under surface irrigation system and 100% of irrigation water applied. 9-The maximum squash yield , (significantly increase), was conducted to surface drip irrigation system by applying 100% quantity calculated by reference evapotranspiration approach as 7.59 and 7.4 ton/fed under 4 and 2 L/h dripper discharge rates, respectively. While the minimum yield, (4.4 ton/fed), was found by applying 80 % of water requirements under subsurface drip irrigation with 2L/h dripper discharge rate. 10-Water use efficiency significantly increased with 100% irrigation water requirements and 4L/h dripper discharge rate when applying surface drip irrigation system.
