MAGNETIC PROCESSING OF SALINE WATER AND ITS IMPACT ON SOME SOIL PROPERTIES

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the College of Agriculture, University of Anbar during the winter season of 2018-2019, to study the effect of magnetic water on some soil properties. The experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design (R.C.B.D). The experiment included saline water with three levels (1 dS/m, 4 dS/m, 7 dS/m) (S3). While the second factor was magnetic Magnetized water with three levels : magnetically (M0), One time magnetization (M1), two time magnetization (M2). The results showed that irrigation of 7 dS/m reduced the soil saturated water conductivity, the weighted diameter (MWD) and the granulation factorial (Kc).Moreover, the values of bulk density and refraction factorial riased with the increased of water salinity. The magnetization process made a significant effect in the values of soil saturated water conductivity, the mean weighed diameter (MWD) and the granulation factorial (Kc) with one time magnetization used, while the bulk density and refraction factorial decreased. Also the co-interaction between saline water and magnetic procession has a strong effect on all of study parameters.
