resource for expanding more cultivated area. This study was conducted during
2011 and 2012 seasons to test the possibility of reusing the agricultural drainage
water for irrigating of Taimour mango transplants. In addition, to examine the
effect of this water on some vegetative growth and root characters, total carbohydrate
percentage in the leaves, plant pigments and uptake of N, P, K, Na ad Cl by
plants. Transplants were irrigated with both drainage water and Nile water alone
and also with different proportions from each (75:25, 50:50 and 25:75). The
obtained data reveal that irrigation with drainage water alone or mixed with
Nile water at a ratio of 25% badly affected all the investigated parameters
of transplants. A positive relation between the proportion of drainage water
and the uptake of Na and Cl. Irrigation using drainage water mixed with river
Nile at a ratio of 50-75 was apparently no depressive effect on all of the considered
aspects of the transplants. From the economical standpoint, drainage water may
be mixed in equal parts (50: 50%) with river Nile for irrigate Taimour mango
transplants growing on sandy soil. For more safety, irrigation with Nile water
may be applied for leaching soil and preventing salt accumulate every four mixed
water irrigation.]]>Abd El-Karim-Nemat, Y.,19911991Abid, M.F., S.K. Al-Naseri and S.N. Abdullah,201325362Ahmed, A.M. and F.F. Ahmed,199835901908Ahmed, F.F. and O.H.
