Abstract
Soil salinity is a major problem in Egypt where salt affected lands are increasing over the productive farmland. Fodder beet plant (Beta vulgaris L. Monovert) could be a potential fodder crop for small ruminants based on its moderate nutritive value and high biomass production and its ability to grow in high salt affected soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate for fodder beet yield under traditional management practices (TMP) and improved management practices (IMP). The TMP included the practices carried out by the farmers and the other one (IMP) included the integrated practices of modified irrigation systems with applied leaching requirements, suitable planting method, application of appropriate rate of fertilization (NPK) and addition of sulfur, farmyard manure (FYM) and effective micro-organisms solution (EM). Two field experiments were conducted in farmers’ fields under saline conditions of Sahl El-Tina area in 2010/2011& 2011/2012 winter seasons. The treatments of both experiments included two irrigation systems (permanent sprinkler “PS” and surface furrows “FI”), two management practices (traditional and improved), and two planting methods (one side and two sides of the ridge). The treatments were arranged in completely randomized blocks design with four replicates. The obtained results indicated that the IMP decreased soil salinity and increased water use efficiency, under modified irrigation system. Based on the results of two growing seasons, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) were the highest average values as 11.47 and 16.22 kg m-3 obtained with IMP&FI and IMP&PS treatments, respectively. Developed furrow irrigation with improved management practices resulted in higher IWUE by 23.4%. While, modified sprinkler irrigation system with improved management practices led to increase in IWUE by 17.9%. It is clear that application of IMP significantly increase of growth characters, fresh yield (leaves and roots) of fodder beet by 5% as compared to the TMP. Consequently, sustainable development can be achieved by application IMP for mitigate soil salinity hazards and enhance the productivity of fodder beet as forage crops in Sahl El-Tina area, North Sinai to solve the feed shortage problem around the year.
