Abstract
A study was conducted in two arid zones to determine the effect of saline water applied to various crops growing in coarse‐textured soil, using trickle irrigation. The test crops responded most favorably to this new method of water application in terms of plant development and yield. The method provides us with the possibility of raising the permissible salinity level of irrigation water, and thus to increase the water reserves suitable for agricultural use in the world.Keywords
