Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation significantly decreased plant height (cm) at mid-season.
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation significantly decreased plant dry weight (g) at mid-season.
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation did not significantly affect leaf number, leaf area, or leaf area index at mid-season.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid spraying significantly increased plant fresh and dry weights at mid-season.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid spraying did not significantly affect height, leaf number, leaf area, or leaf area index at mid-season.
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation significantly decreased ear height, ear weight, grains per row, 100 kernel weight, grain yield, biological yield, straw yield, and harvest index at end-season.
- Intervention effect Saline irrigation did not significantly affect rows per ear at end-season.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid significantly increased studied end-season traits other than ear height, rows per ear, and harvest index.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid did not significantly increase ear height, rows per ear, or harvest index at end-season.
- Association Salinity and salicylic acid interacted significantly only for grain yield.
- Association Salinity and salicylic acid interaction was not significant for the other studied traits.
- Recommendation The authors propose salicylic acid to improve maize growth and yield under salinity.
