Effects of Saline Shallow Groundwater Stress on <i>Coriander sativum</i> L. Water Requirement and Other Plant Parameters

Abstract

Lysimetric experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effects of saline shallow groundwater on water requirements and other parameters of coriander plant in a semiarid climate. The plants were grown in 27 columns each with a diameter of 0.40 m and packed with silty clay soil. The experiments were carried out with three replicates using a randomized complete block design with different treatment combinations. Nine treatments were applied in each experiment by maintaining groundwater with an EC of 1, 2 and
