Synopsis The use of brackish water over a 5‐year period indicates that salinity effects are determined by variations in the saline status of the soil throughout the growing season and by the sensitivity of the specific crop, especially with respect to the growth stage at which salinized. Rainfall distribution is an important factor influencing salt accumulation in the soil.
