Effect of Saline Water on Physicochemical Properties of Soil Used in Plastic Nursery Bags of Three Months Olive Sprouted Cuttings under Tunnel Conditions by Muhammad Arshad Ullah* in Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research (CIACR) in Lupine Publishers
The quality of irrigation water has the potential to significantly
affect soil structural properties. The study was carried out at NARC
Islamabad during August, 2017 to October, 2017 to investigate the effect
of saline water on the soil characteristics as well as ionic
concentrations in 4 olive varieties i.e. Uslo, Coratina, Carolea and
Moraila having 3 months sprouted olive cuttings under different saline
water treatments in tunnel. Six levels of saline water were artificially
developed (ECw=0,2,4,6,8,10dSm-1). Completely randomized design was
applied with three replications. Olive cuttings were irrigated with six
saline water three times in a week. Results of this study indicated that
soil pH was mentioned no differences with saline water irrigations
among three olive varieties. However minute changes in soil pH were
noted. Soil ECe was increased as well as the salinity of irrigation
water was increased. Soil Na determined increasing trend as the salinity
of irrigation water increased. Decreasing trend in soil K was noticed
against the increasing of salinity levels by saline irrigation waters.
Soil Ca+Mg described the increasing behavior as the salinity of
irrigation water increased. Na+ in leaf olive tissues showed increasing
behavior as the salinity of irrigation water increased. No difference
was observed among three olive varieties. In leaf olive tissues showed
increasing trend as the salinity of irrigation water increased. But the
increasing trend is very minute as compared to the increase in Na+
