Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity to 6.0 dS.m-1 decreased fruit yield and water consumption of tomato plants relative to the control.
- Intervention effect At 6.0 dS.m-1 (T6), tomato yield decreased by 28 % relative to the control in autumn.
- Intervention effect At 6.0 dS.m-1 (T6), tomato yield decreased by 37 % relative to the control in spring.
- Observation The control treatment gave the highest tomato yield in autumn (13.6 kg.m-2).
- Observation The control treatment gave the highest tomato yield in spring (14.3 m-2).
- Intervention effect Foliar Ca sprays did not affect tomato yield significantly in the spring season.
- Intervention effect Foliar Ca sprays reduced the incidence of BER fruit.
- Association Increasing EC levels in the nutrient solution increased fruit total dry matter content, total soluble solids and titratable acidity of the fruit juice.
