| Abstract | This publication focuses on using water analyses to choose appropriate water treatment and water management practices for irrigated agriculture. It will help determine: • What tests are needed to characterize water quality • How to collect water samples • How to interpret analytical data from a laboratory • How to use water analyses to identify water use limitations • How to determine the amount of salts and nutrients applied by irrigation • Options for managing irrigation water to avoid: — Salt accumulation — Excess sodium and soil surface sealing — Lime deposition on fruits and vegetables — Emitter and nozzle plugging — Chloride and boron toxicity — Excessive nutrient application |
