Re: measurement in irrigated plantations

[Mark Dale]

For Brendan George,
I know you are not interested in effluent irrigated plantations but 
probably the definitive work on irrigation of eucalypts using 
subsurface drainage water from irrigation was done by the South 
Australian Department variously called SARDI or PISAR.  The drainage 
water has a little nitrate but is certainly not the yummy mixture 
from sewage.  Rob Stevens is the person to talk to at Loxton Research 
Centre.  Drip irrigation was used and 5 levels of salinity.  The 
least salty was Murray River water, probably averaging 450 EC.  The 
main trial was E camludensis but other spp were also monitored
