Abstract

The osmotic effects of a salt mixture, the specific ion effects of sodium chloride, and the specific salt effects of various salts (having Na, K, Ca and Mg as cations and Cl, NO3, SO4 and HCO3 as anions) on the performace of a range of vegetable crops and ornamental species were studied in greenhouse experiments carried out over several years. Data are presented on the salinity yield decrease values and the salinity threshold values, both of which varied significantly between crops. Salinity was found to have positive as well as negative effects on the quality of greenhouse crops. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
