The effect of saline shallow ground and surface water under deficit irrigation on (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in semi arid condition

Ghamarnia, Houshang; Gholamian, Mohsen - In: Agricultural Water Management 118 (2013) C, pp. 29-37

A number of column experiments were conducted in order to determine groundwater contributions by safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) under different saline shallow groundwater (Gw), surface water (Sw) and deficit irrigation schemes. The plants were grown in 16 columns with 0.40m diameter and...
