Effects of Sand Addition to Heavy Saline-Alkali Soil on the Infiltration and Sa...
Miao, Q.; Zhou, L.; Gonçalves, J.M.; Duarte, I.M.; Li, R.; Shi, H.Soil salinity is a matter of great economic and environmental implications. In Hetao Irrigation District, soil salinity limits crop productivity affecting about 69% of its total cultivated land due to natural soil salinisation and salt accumulation caused by irrigation. The goal of this study is to contribute to the alleviation of this problem through the technique of adding wind-sand to the top layer of heavy ...
Yield and water productivity of five chickpea varieties under supplemental irri...
Silva, L.L.; Duarte, I.M.; Lourenço, E; Simões, N; Chaves, M.M.Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important pulse crops in the world, cultivated on a wide range of environments.
