Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation reduced sorghum dry matter yield relative to fresh water.
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation reduced sorghum nitrogen uptake relative to fresh water.
- Association Greater frequency of saline irrigation increased reductions in dry matter yield and nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect Green manure increased sorghum dry matter by 9, 19, 43, 43 and 65% under F, 2F:1S, 1F:1S, 1F:2S and S, respectively.
- Intervention effect Green manure increased sorghum nitrogen uptake by 33, 30, 42, 36 and 60% under F, 2F:1S, 1F:1S, 1F:2S and S, respectively.
- Observation Nitrogen use efficiency of green manure ranged from 25 to 47% across irrigation systems.
- Mechanism The authors attributed greater nitrogen uptake in manured sorghum to nitrogen availability.
- Recommendation The authors recommend alternating fresh and saline irrigation at 2F:1S, 1F:1S or 1F:2S with Elaeagnus leaf manure.
