Abstract

Climatic changes, water constraint, and soil quality degradation, along with rising food demand, need for a more effective cultivation system. This study examined the role of natural zeolite (Z) and modified zeolite (thermal activated zeolite) (AZ) (300 - 400 oC for 3 hours) in enhancing soil quality and growth of barley plant at four doses 0(d0), 100(d1), 200(d2) and 300 (d3) kg/fed at three irrigation water quantities Q1 (60%), Q2 (80%), and Q3 (100%) through field experiment. The results indicated that Z and AZ increased CEC of soil environment, available N-P-K and increase soil DTPA extractable of Zn, Cu and Mn, and decreased soil EC especially at modified zeolite (300kg/fed) at 80% of irrigation water (AZd3Q2) followed by (AZd2Q2) then, (AZd1Q2) treatment. Additionally, modified zeolite enhanced N-P-K uptake by barley grain where, the best percentages of increase observed were 26.18%, 39.72%, and 15.92% respectively for AZd3Q2 treatment. On the other hand, the modified zeolite (200kg/fed) at 80% of irrigation water (AZd2Q2) treatment was the best treatment for water consumption as it saved 539.1 cubic meters of irrigation water that could increase production by 40.7%. Thus economically, the study suggested that AZd2Q2 was the best treatment.
