Abstract

Because of the shortage of high quality irrigation water, using saline water in irrigation is the challenge, especially in desert lands. Magnetically treated water was introduced as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly technology to improve the value and usefulness of saline irrigation water. Wheat and barley are important cereal crops, which greatly affect Egyptian income. The research aims to test the effect of magnetized water on soil available water, chosen properties of soil and irrigation water, and the growth and nutrient content of barley and wheat irrigated with saline and non-saline water. A pot experiment was conducted to achieve the research objective. The results indicated significant beneficial effect of magnetized water on the soil available water. Moreover, magnetized water increased fresh and dry weight and nutrient content of plant. The study concluded that magnetized water reduced the harmful impact of salinity on soil and plant and recommended using magnetized water for the purpose of irrigating cereal crops grown in sandy soils, using both saline and non-saline water in irrigation.
