Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity did not change final germination percentage after five days.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity decreased seedling shoot length and dry weight.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity increased calcium and sodium in shoots.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity decreased magnesium and potassium in shoots.
- Intervention effect Salinity significantly decreased fruit yield in five of six cultivars.
- Intervention effect Salinity had no effect on fruit quality.
- Association Seedling shoot length at 9.0 dS·m−1 correlated with relative yield at 4.0 dS·m−1.
- Recommendation The authors propose salinity screening based on the shoot length–yield relationship.
