Abstract
Crop yield and deep percolation functions for irrigation under saline conditions can be simulated using a seasonal model. A transient state model provides for multiseasonal simulation of yield, deep percolation, salt distribution and water distribution for any given set of irrigation management regimes. Applications of these models, combined with an irrigation uniformity model, for various irrigation-drainage situations are summarized.
