Sea water irrigation yields amazing grain results
UC Davis scientists report amazing success in using sea water to irrigate and fertilize experimental grain crops. The study, led by Emanuel Epstein, developed twelve salt resistant barley strains from over 6,200 varieties and grew them near Bodega Bay. Ocean water supplied most nutrients, and results suggest coastal farming and salinity-challenged lands could be revived.
