Summary
A soil salinity accumulation study was conducted to examine
the long-term impact of drip and micro irrigation on
salinity build-up in orchards, focusing on the salinity
concentration pattern across a soil profile. The study
assessed the current level of salinity accumulation in
orchards irrigated with drip/micro systems and provided
information to support recommendations on the most
effective and efficient leaching techniques.
