Growing Cos-Romaine lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.) in floating disk systems under a range of saline water using Agro-Nanobubbles (Agro-NBs)

Abstract

The salinity of irrigation water is a significant and growing issue globally. Techniques to address it and increase efficiency will give farmers useful resources to create agricultural production systems that are more profitable and sustainable. The majority of saline water treatment devices in use today are expensive and energy-intensive. By lowering crop pressures caused by abiotic variables, any novel solutions that might lessen the effects of irrigation water salinity can indirectly decrease the consequences of climate change and greatly contribute to more sustainable crop production. This study set out to assess the effects of high-salinity irrigation water on the development and yield of leafy crops.
