“…These results reflected the positive role of GM in decreasing the harmful effect of salinity on dry matter production. Our results were in agreement with those of Rao and Pathak [24], Tejada et al [29] and Kurdali and Al-Shamma'a [16] who mentioned the importance of GM in alleviating the negative impact of salinity on (DM) due its positive role in improving physical, chemical and biological soil properties. However, the reduction in (DM) yield caused by alternate irrigation could be attributed to a lower water availability in the rhizosphere, leading to a reduction ability of roots to absorb the water and essential nutrients required to plant growth [30].…”

Background:A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of alternate irrigation with saline (S) and fresh (F) water on growth, nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency in Sorghum crop (Sorghum bicolor L.) manured with Elaeagnus angustifolia leaves (GM) using 15 N. Method:Five types of irrigation systems abbreviated as (F, 2F:1S, 1F:1S, 1F:2S and S) and one rate of Green Manure (GM) were employed. Result:Results showed reductions in both Dry Matter yield (DM) and nitrogen uptake (NY) in sorghum grown under different types of irrigation systems as compared with the control (F). The reduction rates of these two parameters increased with increasing number of irrigations with saline water. However, E. angustifolia leaves applied as green manure mitigated the harmful effect of salinity on plant growth parameters. The percent increments as a result of GM application were 9, 19, 43, 43 and 65% for DM, and 33, 30, 42, 36 and 60% for NY in F, 2F:1S, 1F:1S, 1F:2S and S, respectively. Nitrogen use efficiency of added green manure ranged between 25 and 47% in the different types of irrigation systems. Our results indicated that increment of NY in green manured sorghum plants was mainly attributed to its nitrogen availability. According to the availability of S and F water resources, and the economic returns aimed by farmers in the semi-arid regions, it is recommended to use (2F:1S, 1F:1S and 1F:2S) in combination with E. angustifolia leaf GM. Such a procedure can be considered as a promising agricultural practice to improve yield with a proper water resource investment.

“…Under such conditions, the negative effect of Na + is offset by the antagonistic effect of K + and Ca 2+ existing in soil and/or provided by the irrigation water (Tejada et al, 2006;Jalali and Ranjbar, 2009). This assumption is acceptable insofar as both soils of HSS site and water used for irrigation are rich in Ca 2+ and K + ions.…”

In hot arid lands, soil salinity, irrigation with brackish waters and the massive use of mineral fertilizers are major constraints for the development of potato cropping. The current field experiment was conducted in the Sahara Desert of Algeria in order to highlight the effect of organic fertilization on the improvement of potato production and the increase of plant salt-stress tolerance. The variation of yield production parameters and nutritional status of plants were evaluated through a split-plot design including six increasing rates of poultry manure (PM) (0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mt/ha) tested in three experimental sites with increasing salinity levels: low saline soil (electrical conductivity 'EC' = 0.9 dS/m), saline soil (EC = 2.2 dS/m) and high saline soil (EC = 5.9 dS/m). The results revealed a significant and proportional increasing of all studied yield parameters (number, seize and yields of tubers) with the increase of PM rates compared to the control. The effect of the interaction (PM × salinity level) showed that the highest yield (44.55 mt/ha) was recorded in plots treated with 60 mt/ha of PM in high saline soils. The assessment of nutritional status at flowering stage of potato plants demonstrated that concentrations of K+ and N increased while Na+ concentrations decreased, in both leaves and roots, as PM rates increasing, principally beneath high salinity level. Our findings suggest the dose of 60 mt/ha of PM is an optimal amount producing the best tuber yields under saline conditions in arid soils.

“…RD6 total chlorophyll pigment levels were also maintained better with the application of OM (Lakhdar et al, 2008;Cha-um and Kirdmanee, 2011). Organic matter may contain salt ion-binding agents which detoxify the toxic ions, especially Na + and Cl -, as indicated by low EC in treated soil (Tejada et al, 2006;Zahid and Niazi, 2006).…”

To mitigate the effect of salt stress and excess B in soil and consequently increase crop yield and improve the behaviour of cv. "Poncho Negro" there are low-cost strategies such as the application of organic amendments. This study aimed at remediating excess salt (150 mM NaCl) and B (20 mg L -1 B) in soil using organic matter treatment (4% and 6%). Stress was supplied by irrigation. The rate of net CO 2 assimilation, B, Na + , K and Ca 2+ content, soluble sugars and proline were measured. All growth parameters measured were higher with 6% organic matter (OM) in soil than with 4% OM, including salinity treatments and excessive B, while Na + and B concentrations were reduced in leaves and roots. The photosynthesis rate was maintained at the level of control plants with 6% OM applied in soil in treatments with salinity alone and with excess B. In the salinity alone treatment there was a marked increase in the content of compatible solutes, but with the application of 6% OM their content was reduced by more than 100%. The remediation of salt and boron-affected soil by addition of organic matter (6%) is an effective way to improve the behaviour of tomato.Key words: organic matter, boric acid, salinity, Solanum lycopersicum L.
