Abstract
Regions close to the coasts generally face difficulties in agriculture, due to salinization of water and soil. This research focuses on evaluating the impacts of magnetic saline water treatment on quality, and yield of eggplant, soil salt distribution, soil mechanical properties, reducing effects of soil crust formation, and emitters efficiency. A standard magnetic device with a strength of 1.45 Tesla was to treat irrigation water salinity of 4.95 dS/m. Field experiment was conducted in soil that had a salinity problem. The effect of magnetized saline water on vegetative parameters, quality and yield of eggplant, soil salt distribution, emitters clogging, and soil mechanical properties and overcome the effect of the soil crust formation were studied. The irrigation water treatments were tap water, saline water, and magnetically treated saline water. The following findings were obtained from a comparison of saline water that was magnetically treated and untreated: the magnetic treatment significantly improved crop growth rate by 51.3%, and increased eggplant productivity by 81.6%. Using magnetic treated saline water, the soil salt content decreased by 35% from the initial value, while, it was increased by 3.7% with untreated saline water. Statistical uniformity coefficients, as an indicator of clogging of emitters in the irrigation system, were 75% for magnetic treated saline water, and 48% for untreated saline water. Measurements of soil mechanical properties, as an indicator of surface crust formation, illustrated that magnetic treated saline water decreased soil penetration resistance by 39.6%, decreased soil cohesion by 8.4%, and decreased internal friction angle by 26.3%.
