Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Guar shoot yield fell to 50% of control at 11.8 dS m-1, independently of salt form.
- Intervention effect Cowpea shoot yield fell to 50% of control at 11.6 dS m-1, independently of salt form.
- Observation Guar maintained low shoot sodium under salt treatments.
- Observation Cowpea maintained low shoot sodium under salt treatments.
- Observation Guar accumulated moderate chloride under chloride salts.
- Observation Cowpea accumulated moderate chloride under chloride salts.
- Observation Blackgram response to Na2SO4 was intermediate, at ECe50 of 10.8 dS m-1.
- Observation Blackgram accumulated sodium up to 1500 8mol g-1 in shoots.
- Observation Blackgram accumulated chloride up to 8 g-1 in shoots.
- Association Large ion differences were unrelated to guar dry matter yield.
- Association Large ion differences were unrelated to cowpea dry matter yield.
- Mechanism High shoot sodium appeared to limit blackgram growth under salinity.
- Recommendation The authors suggest seeking blackgram cultivars with lower shoot sodium accumulation.
