2 ~~ ~ ~ ~~ CIHEAM - Options Mediterraneennes Research work at the Bari Institute on the reuse low quality water and its impact on soils and plants Atef Mediterranean Agronomic Institute Bari (IAM-B) - Italy Salt affected soils various types in irrigated soil management, water quality and its areas cover about 20 million hectares (49,42 management and the agronomics various million acres). This is equivalent to all irrigated irrigation methods, as well as the capacity to land in the USA and combined. manage the salinity problems, must be well developed and fully understood beforehand. These figures salt affected soils, with their progressive increase under irrigation practices, The success such plans requires the development will definitely lead to a tremendous reduction in new strategies for using low quality water in food and fiber production unless proper soil irrigation, assessed on scientific, practical and management and soil reclamation programs are economic bases. Such strategies should include immediately undertaken. climatic, soil and crop factors to eliminate as far as possible the drawbacks on crop production and soil The other side the problem is to meet, given lhe Characteristics. limited water resources available, the necessary food demands which are increasing at a very high a research rate. Superficially, it might appear that increasing programme on the use saline water in irrigation the amount cultivated land would fer the best including the following main topics: solution to the problem. However, the scarcity fresh water resources needed for putting the new areas under cultivation makes the problem even -the influence irrigation with saline water more complicated. different salt concentration levels on the growth and yield some main crops in this respect, the utilization water resources area; other than fresh ones is a the meantime, if such water is used for irrigation without proper the management, it could have negative effects on crop production as well as contributing to the deterioration soil productivity due to the side- eflects on the physico-chemical characteristics soils. - the mode saline water application; -salt accumulation and its distribution in the different soil layers under saline water irrigation using different irrigation methods; Thus, if it is planned to use low quality water on a large scale in irrigation, the complex interaction - leaching the accumulated excess salts using fresh water as well as water low quality.
3 86 This paper will summarize the experimental work included in the programme and the results obtained by giving some outlines which could be utilized as far as we are concerned for establishing a new strategy for the use low water quality in irrigation. wide that some good at an EC mmhos/cm, do well up to 20 is which will do equally well in final yields. - Salinity and plant growth a effects on plant development and output quality, depending on as soluble salts, the view this discussion it is a Equally, the identification give than those which show a to know salinity on Salinity effects can i) conditions because effect et al, 1976; 1976; et al, 1976). be ii) by imbalance essential ions, and is no infallible way could be a by ions toxic 1.
