Abstract

Considering the limitation of water resources and the strategic nature of rice production as a water-consuming product, it is necessary to change irrigation management by using new irrigation methods and lower-quality water. Low-quality water and conditions can challenge agriculture and cause changes in soil properties. With methods such as magnetized water, their adverse effects can be significantly limited. In order to maintain rice production and at the same time minimize the environmental effects, the present research aims to investigate the effect of magnetized of treatment waste-water plant on electrical conductivity, sodium absorption ratio, potassium and magnesium of soil at depths of 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 which are abbreviated as depth one, two and three. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental treatments include the irrigation methode factor including surface irrigation (B) and subsurface irrigation (S), the water type factor in two levels including healthy water (C) and treated waste-water (W) and magnetic treatment of water method factor including magnetized water (M), and Non-magnetized water (O). The treatment combination of surface irrigation with well water non-magnetized water (OCB) was considered as a control. In different soil depths in all treatment combinations, at the probability level of 5%, the average value compared to their initial value showed a decrease significantly in sodium absorption ratio, an increase significantly in magnesium value, an increase in electrical conductivity except for OCB at three depths, and an increase significantly in potassium value except for MCB, MWB and MWS in depth one has decreased. The general result is that the irrigation of rice with magnetic effluent in the surface irrigation method is recommended due to the increase in the washing effect under the influence of magnetization, in order to reduce the harmful effects of the accumulation of elements on the soil surface.
