| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out on a calcareous sandy loam soil at Sudr Research Station, South Sinai for conserving soil from the bicarbonate hazard in saline irrigation water. Four bicarbonate levels; 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 meqL-1 in saline irrigation water were applied. Also, three farmyard manure rates (0, 10, 20 m3 fed-1) and sulphure rates (0, 250 and 500 kg fed-1) were applied individual and/or in combined. The organic manure and sulphure had positively significant effects on yield. The results also show that the highest value of grain and straw yields were obtained from (HCO3)1OM2S2 but the best treatment from economic point of view was (HCO3)2OM1S2. The highest values of available Fe++, Mn++ and Zn++ were found with OM2S2 under all bicarbonate concentrations in saline irrigation water. | ||
