Abstract:
      The salinity of Bohai sea ice is usually 4 to 11 g/kg and sea ice can be used for irrigation after desalination. Farmland experiment was carried out with different irrigation water salinity (1 g/kg,3 g/kg and 5 g/kg) and different irrigation water quantity (450 m3/hm2,900 m3/hm2,1 350 m3/hm2). The results showed that (1) At the end of the experiment, the soil salinity of 10 disposals didn't increase remarkably on account of the washing and leaching of precipitation; and the soil salinity was also maintained at a lower level in the second year of salt return peak. (2) The corn yield dropped lightly with the increasing of the irrigation salinity. When the irrigation water salinity was 1 g/kg, the corn yield would increase along with the increasing irrigation water quantity. When the irrigation water salinity was 3 g/kg or 5 g/kg, the corn yield would decrease along with the increasing irrigation water quantity. The corn stalk yet showed the similar law.
