Abstract
The experience gained by ICAMAS in Bari during ten years of experimental work on the use of saline water in irrigation is presented. The paper focuses on water, soil and plant management under saline irrigation practices. Modes of saline water application, irrigation systems, irrigation frequencies, leaching frequencies and management will be fully discussed. Different approaches for setting up new strategies, for using highly saline waters under different crop rotations, for a better crop production with minimum deterioration in the soil properties will be introduced.
