Fifteen salt tolerant CIP (International Potato Centre) Potato genotypes along with BARI (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute) Alu 7 (Diamant) and one local variety viz., Dohazari Sada were evaluated at Bashkhali, Chittagong during 2011-12 to screen the suitable genotypes for cultivation in saline areas of Bangladesh. Diamant and Dohazari Sada and all of the CIP genotypes were found to grow well up to 60 DAP (Days After Planting) at saline areas having healthy plants and no senescence was noticed but after that 61-100% plants died due to high level of soil salinity (6.41dS/m) depending on genotypes. Genotype CIP 112 gave the highest yield (21.07 t/ha) and CIP 102 was comparatively less affected by soil salinity than the other genotypes. However, all the salt tolerant CIP genotypes were found to be promising in the saline soil. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v11i1.15249 The Agriculturists 2013; 11(1) 95-102

ABSTRACTSoil salinity is a worldwide adverse environmental factor for crop productivity and quality in arid, semiarid and coastal areas. In India, approximately 8.5 million hectare of land area is affected by high salinity (EC ≥ 5 dS m−1). Development of salinity tolerant varieties through marker assisted breeding is most efficient and effective strategy for management of soil salinity. WH 1105 is widely cultivated wheat variety with many agronomically superior qualities but is affected by soil salinity. Two genes (Nax1andNax2) for salinity tolerance were introgressed from Kharchia 65 into the genetic background of WH 1105 through marker assisted backcross breeding. BC1F3, BC2F2and F4generations of the cross WH1105 x Kharchia 65 were evaluated for various morphological traits under initial salt stress condition. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic variations 44 high yielding plants were selected from the cross. Out of 178 SSRs tested, 30 were found polymorphic for background selection of the foreground selected plants. Cluster tree analysis of parents and all the three generations showed that all the selected plants were inclined toward recurrent parent (WH 1105) indicating higher similarity with the recurrent parent. Four plants were selected as high grain yielding and salt tolerant. These plants could be further backcrossed with the recurrent parent to develop salt tolerant wheat lines.

SUMMARYNine high-oil varieties of sunflower were evaluated for their reactions to salinity during emergence in salinized soil culture ranging from 0 to 12·80 mmhos/cm under controlled temperature of 27±1 °C. The varieties were Louck, Vniimk-8931, Chernianka-66, Record, Armarisky, Peredovik, Orizont, Mhjak and Zarea.Soil salinity decreased the percentage of emergence in all varieties of sunflower. The rate of decrease in emergence of some varieties was greater than others. Among varieties tested Vniimk-8931 (a tall variety) and Chernianka-66 (a dwarf variety) showed the highest and the lowest tolerance to salinity at 7·60 mmhos/cm, respectively. For electric conductivities above 7·60 mmhos/cm, the nine varieties of sunflower could be classified in three categories. Vniimk-8931, Record, Louck, Peredovik and Armarisky as high salt tolerant, Mhjak and Orizont as medium salt tolerant and Chernianka-66 as low salt tolerant varieties.

Salinity causes cellular damage, limiting crop productivity. Accumulation of proline is one of the main adaptive mechanisms to salinity in plants. The main objective of this study was to mitigate the adverse effects of soil salinity in boro rice by exogenous application of proline. The field experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field of Botiaghata, Khulna with Boro rice. The soil was silty clay loam having pH 7.2, EC 6.6 dS/m, CEC 26 meq/100 g soil and organic matter content 0.84%. Two rice varieties (salt-sensitive; BRRI dhan29 and salt-tolerant; BINA dhan-8) were used as test crops. There were ten treatment combinations with different concentrations of proline applied at seedling and/or vegetative stages. Recommended doses of N, P, K, S and Zn fertilizers were applied to the all experimental plots. The experiments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Soil salinity caused a significant reduction in growth and yield of both salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant rice. Salt-tolerant rice produced higher grain and straw yields than salt-sensitive rice. Application of proline significantly increased growth, and grain and straw yields of boro rice under saline condition. There were no considerable variations in growth and yield of rice due to the different doses of proline. Increased nutrient uptake and K+/Na+ ratio in boro rice were observed due to proline application. The present study suggests that exogenous proline improves salt tolerance in rice by increasing K+/Na+ ratio and nutrient uptake. Progressive Agriculture 29 (4): 295-303, 2018

Soil And Water

Rice-fallow and rice-rice are major cropping systems in the salt affected region of the Ganges Delta covering West Bengal, India and Bangladesh. The dry season rice (Boro) is grown mostly by irrigation from ground water in this water scarce region. Boro encounters soil and water salinity, air temperature fluctuations and intense evaporative demand. We studied six sowing dates (1 October, 15 October, 1 November, 15 November, 1 December and 15 December) and three varieties (WGL 20471, Bidhan 2 and IET 4786) of rice to find an interacting effect on yield and water productivity. Soil and water salinity varied during the growing period with lower soil salinity during the month of November (2.20–2.53 dS m−1) and higher soil salinity towards the end of the growing season (4.30–5.23 dS m−1). The mean field water salinity was higher (1.78 dS m−1) during the Boro 2017–18 compared to that (1.65 dS m−1) during 2016–17, as about 49 mm rainfall was received in the month of March 2017. Sowing dates significantly affected the yield of Boro rice. Earliest sowing on 1 October is not feasible as it significantly reduced the grain and straw yields. Sowing of nursery up to 1 of November was found to be the best possible option, and it should not be delayed up to 15 December. The rice variety IET 4786 was found to be susceptible to salinity with the lowest grain yield 2.65–2.98 t ha−1, compared to Bidhan 2 (3.41–5.95 t ha−1) and WGL 20471 (3.40–5.81 t ha−1). Both irrigation and economic water productivity of Boro were affected by sowing dates and variety. Rice variety IET 4786 required less irrigation water (1320 mm) than the other two varieties (1350 mm). Higher (>0.5 kg m−3) irrigation water productivity of Boro can be achieved by selecting salt tolerant varieties (WGL 20471 and Bidhan 2) and optimum sowing window of 1–15 November.

Effluent Irrigation

The effect of wastewater irrigation on soil salinity and crop yield was determined in a study at Swift Current, Saskatchewan. A toposequence consisting of the Orthic Regosol series, Calcareous Brown series, Orthic Brown series and Cumulic Orthic Brown series of the Birsay Association was seeded to alfalfa and irrigated with effluent from a secondary sewage lagoon. Since the applied effluent had a mean EC of 2.6 dS/m, soil salinization was a major concern. For 8 yr the four soils were sampled for salinity to a depth of 150 cm each fall. During the 8-yr period, alfalfa was sampled for dry matter yield twice each year from each soil. The results indicate that irrigation by 10–15% more than the normal recommended application rate (i.e., when low saline surface water is used for irrigation) will ensure sufficient leaching to maintain salt content in the root zone at a level not deleterious to plant growth. After 8 yr of effluent irrigation, new steady state salinity profiles were developed in the Orthic Regosol, Calcareous Brown and Orthic Brown series. At this steady state condition the salt contents in the upper 60 cm of the root zone in these three soil series were generally similar. They increased from the initial low ECe value of 0.6 dS/m to 2.5 dS/m. Salinity increased with depth toward the bottom of the root zone where the Orthic Brown series had an ECe value of 4.0 dS/m, while the Orthic Regosol and Calcareous Brown series had values of 6.0 dS/m. Effluent irrigation resulted in a small net reduction of salts in the 150-cm profile of the Orthic Regosol and the Calcareous Brown series, but caused an increase of salts in the Orthic Brown profile. In the Cumulic Orthic Brown series the salt content throughout the profile increased continually from a very low initial level, and had not reached a steady state condition after 8 yr of irrigation. The development of a high water table in this area resulted in salt movement into the root zone of the Cumulic Orthic Brown series that was distinctly higher than those of the other three series and caused alfalfa yields to decline from being highest at the start of this study to only about 80% of yields on the Orthic Brown series at the end. The observed yield reductions emphasize the importance of having adequate drainage to effect salt removal by leaching when crops are irrigated with saline sewage effluent.
