Salinity tolerance in irrigated crops
Summary
Different crops can tolerate different levels of salinity in irrigation water. The tolerance of plants to salinity is mainly influenced by:
- climate, particularly the abundance or lack of rainfall to leach salts from soils
- soil types and drainage characteristics within the root zone which influence the ease of leaching and
- salt accumulation
Topics include:
- Measuring salinity in water
- References for these values
