The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation with low-and high-salinity water on soil salts, sour passion fruit production, and salt leaching. The results showed that irrigation increased the electrical conductivity of the soil, with higher values in the surface layer and at the end of the dry season. Rainfall during the rainy season reduced the saline character of the soil in both low and high electrical conductivity irrigation treatments. Irrigation with high-electrical conductivity water negatively affected the production components and yield of sour passion fruit.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation with low-and high-salinity water on the increment of salts in the soil, the production components of sour passion fruit and the leaching of salts by rainfall and by leaching fraction of 10%. The treatments were arranged in randomized blocks, in a split-plot scheme, corresponding to three irrigation management practices [evaluation of soil chemical attributes before irrigation; and after irrigation with water of low electrical conductivity (0.35 dS m-1), and high electrical conductivity (4.00 dS m-1) in the main plot], and in the subplot two soil depths of evaluation (0-20 and 20-40 cm) and three soil sampling times (at 115 days after transplanting of seedlings (DAT) -beginning of flowering; at 199 DAT -end of the dry season; and at 379 DAT -end of the rainy season). Irrigation increased the electrical conductivity of the soil saturation extract, with higher values in the surface layer and at the end of the dry season. Rainfall during the rainy season reduced the saline character of soil from moderately saline and strongly saline, in treatments irrigated with water of low and high electrical conductivity, to non-saline and slightly saline, respectively. Irrigation with high-electrical conductivity water negatively affected the production components and yield of sour passion fruit.
