Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Growth rates of Tetragonia did not vary between the two types of salt stress.
- Intervention effect NaCl reduced water consumption and water productivity in Tetragonia.
- Intervention effect In lettuce, NaCl-treated plants had lower water use efficiency and water productivity than under the EC-comparable seawater treatment.
- Intervention effect Seawater is a less stressful growing medium than a NaCl solution at comparable EC, with physiological parameters, mineral elements, phenolics and proline indicating this.
