Abstract
Tomato seedlings were transferred to continuously, aerated plastic containers. Treatments consisted of three nitrogen (N) levels [0, 1.5, and 3% as ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and ammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) 2:1 w/w] and three salinity levels (0, 30, and 60 mM using sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl2)]. Results indicated significant positive and negative responses in fruits fresh weight to nitrogen and salinity treatments, respectively. Number of fruits and root length decreased at high salinity level. Phosphorus (P) content was highest in fruits and lowest in roots. Fruit P uptake decreased with salinity applications in N controls. At low salinity levels, N application mitigated the salinity detrimental effects; however, such an effect was not observed at the high salinity level. Nitrogen application significantly decreased iron, zinc, copper, and manganese concentration and uptake. Application of nitrogen and salinity levels significantly increased the citric acid content of tomato fruits. Vitamin C content of fruits was neither influenced by nitrogen nor by salinity.
