[Comparative study of growth and yield of five lentil (Lens culinaris) varieties relative to soil salinity: Effects on saline water management]
2004
Sellami, M. H.
The two classification criteria adopted in our study are agronomic yield and water efficiency. The second criteria is to minimize saline water supply to reduce environmental pollution as much as possible. The resulting classification highlights a tolerant variety (the variety ILL 4400) and a sensitive variety 8variety ILL 8006). Varieties ILL 5883, ILL 5582 and ILL 5845 are intermediate between the two previous groups. The application of the alternation technique at the sensitive growth stages didn't affect yield and water efficiency, except in the case of the treatment with 6 dS/m where a slight improvement in water efficiency was observed. The previous conclusions are certainly of interest of the specialists concerned with saline water management.
