مقایسه سیستم های مختلف آبیاری بر روی تولید علوفه گیاهان شورپسند در شرایط شور

‭This report presents the results of experiments designed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation systems (furrow, bubbler and drip) on production of five species of halophytes (Atriplex canescens, A. halimus, A. lentiformis, A. nummularia and Kochia indica). In this experiment, these five species of halophytes were evaluated in the form of split plot design with three replications at Sadooq Salinity Research Farm of NSRC in Yazd, Iran. Results showed that furrow and bubbler systems had the most positive effect on forage production in comparison to drip system. Also, comparison of all halofytes for forage yield indicated that A. canescens had the highest forage yield followed by A. halimus. Consequently, the furrow irrigation system and A. canescens can be introduce at present farmer condition, while the irrigation system can be upgraded to bubbler, considering water scarcity situations and also its economic justifications.
