Water‐saving irrigation is essential for crops in saline regions where freshwater resources are scarce. We tested furrow irrigation methods and planting techniques in terms of yield, water savings, water productivity (WP), soil salinity (EC e ) and soil water content (SWC) for sunflower in saline soils. Planting on the top of the ridge (T) or side slope on the ridge (S) were tested in factorial combination with (i) skip fixed...
