Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Seed germination of maize and beans was reduced with increasing NaCl concentration, with 0% germination above 5000 mg/L.
- Intervention effect Shoot length, leaf area index and shoot circumference of maize and beans decreased with increasing NaCl concentration.
- Intervention effect Maize growth was more affected by Pb than bean growth.
- Intervention effect Dry and wet masses of maize and beans were very low at higher concentrations of metals and salts compared with controls.
- Intervention effect Salinity and heavy metal treatments differed significantly from the control at all tested concentrations for all growth parameters of beans and maize.
- Association Salinity and heavy metals affect germination and seedling characteristics of maize and beans; high metal concentrations cause harm.
