Abstract

There are increasing social pressures on the agricultural use of salt-affected reclaimed tideland (RTL) for the cultivation of other crops except for rice. Crop suitability for RTL has conventionally been evaluated using soil salinity alone without consideration of soil texture and water salinity. In this study, the suitability of 10 crops for 12 RTLs under national government’s management was evaluated using soil and water salinity as well as soil texture. The crops include barley (both cereal and forage) (hordeum vulgare), wheat (triticum eastivum), paddy rice (oryza sativa), maize (forage) (zea mays), beet (beta vulgaris), celery (apium graveolens), spinach (spinacia oleracea), broccoli (brassica oleracea var. italic), and tomato (solanum lycopersicum). The results showed that barley and wheat are most suitable winter crops for all RTLs and beet, celery, and maize are more suitable than others as summer crops. The suitability of rice, which is widely cultivated in all RTLs, was not as high as expected in some RTLs, suggesting that it may be possible to consider other crops as alternative summer crops to rice. By using not only soil salinity but also soil texture and water salinity as parameters for crop suitability evaluation, it was possible to recommend suitable crops for each RTL of which soil texture and soil and water salinity differ.

Yield responses of 10 selected crops to soil (ECe) and water (ECw) salinity.
