Deep pipe irrigation uses a vertically placed section of pipe to deliver water to the roots of plants. This reduces evaporation and increases water use efficiency. Deep pipes can be filled by hand, drip or rainwater catchment.

Changes In Mycorrhizal Spore And Root Colonization Of Coastal Dune Vegetation Of The Seyhan Delta In The Postcultivation Phase, Özlem Aytok, Kemal Tulühan Yilmaz, İbrahi̇m Ortaş, Hali̇l Çakan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Changes in the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) spores and root colonization that occurred in the postcultivation phase were investigated in the coastal dunes of the Seyhan Delta, Turkey. A sampling method was used to obtain community-level information, which is essential for the evaluation of relations between plant communities and AM colonization. Eight quadrats of 10 × 10 m were selected to describe floristic composition of different plant communities. TWINSPAN was applied to identify the plant communities. In addition, DECORANA was employed to put forward a clear ordination of the communities. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-20 cm …
