Citrus is highly sensitive to saline water. So what is the minimum threshold limit for salt levels in the irrigation water to be used for irrigation of kinnow orchard.
Block buster success of kinnow in northwestern India is an indication of tolerance level against saline irrigation water , but surely its detrimental against saline water having SAR beyond 6 and RSC beyond 1.5 meq/ litre...depending upon soil texture and presence of absence of subsoil calcareousness....
