Water Use Efficiency of potato crop irrigated under Tunisian climatic condition
Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Field experiment was conducted at the Higher Institute of Agronomy of Chott Mariem (Tunisia) during the growing season 2014 to investigate the effects of water quality and irrigation doses on agronomic parameters and water use efficiency (WUE) to produce potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Irrigation management treatments were fresh and saline waters respectively 1 and 4 dS/ m. Experiment was conducted on four treatment T1 and T2 irrigated with water have a electric conductivity of 1 dS/m respectively with100% of ET0 and 50% of ET0, T3 and T4 the same management but irrigated by saline water. The objective of this study was to show the effect water salinity on plant’s growth, leaf area, yield and water use efficiency of potato. Statistical analysis showed that the degree of salinity has a highly significant effect on the plants yield and water use efficiency.
