Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 141, Issue 7
Abstract
Lysimetric experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effects of saline shallow groundwater on water requirements and other parameters of coriander plant in a semiarid climate. The plants were grown in 27 columns each with a diameter of 0.40 m and packed with silty clay soil. The experiments were carried out with three replicates using a randomized complete block design with different treatment combinations. Nine treatments were applied in each experiment by maintaining groundwater with an EC of 1, 2 and , at three different water table levels of 0.60, 0.80, and 1.10 m. The supplementary irrigation requirements for each treatment were applied by adding surface water with EC of . The results of experiments showed that for groundwater qualities 1, 2 and ; and water table depths 0.60, 0.80, and 1.10 m, the average percentage of groundwater contributions were to be 66.6, 55.3, and 46.3%; 59.2, 50.8, and 40.3%; and 49.3, 37.3, and 27.3% of the average annual coriander water requirements, respectively. The results indicated that coriander is a medicinal plant that is sensitive to salinity.
