Fig. 1 Schematic layout of the DIS irrigation network. Each of the salinity Treatments 1 through 9 is characterized by its target ECiw (irrigation water EC) value, and are split into one to three irrigation sectors. Each irrigation sector has four laterals with the appropriate number of emitters to deliver its target ECiw (see example in left dashed rectangle). The number of 1.5 m2 barley plots in each sector is indicated within the small rectangles. The location of Replications 1 and 2 is shown on the right of the figure

Fig. 3 Soil salinity (ECe)–Grain yield response functions of 10 barley cultivars developed using the option 12 of the SALT program (van Genuchten, 1983) using data obtained with the drip-injection irrigation system. Replication 1: +, dashed line; Replication 2: x, solid fine line; Replications 1 + 2: solid thick line
