Sustainable effective use of brackish and canal water for rice-wheat crop production and soil health
<p>A pot study was conducted to develop reasonable irrigation scheduling methods for rice-wheat crop rotation by conjunctive use of low-quality brackish water and good quality canal water. Treatments tested were; T<sub>1</sub> (canal water), T<sub>2</sub> (brackish wate...
