Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Germination and emergence rate were delayed by both NaCl and PEG-8000 solutions in both cowpea cultivars.
- Intervention effect Cultivar Cuarenteño had a higher germination rate than Paceño in NaCl.
- Intervention effect Cultivar Paceño was less affected by NaCl and PEG solutions at the emergence stage.
- Intervention effect NaCl had a lesser effect than PEG-8000 on germination rate, emergence rate and final germination and emergence percentage in cowpea.
- Mechanism The adverse effect of PEG-8000 on germination, emergence and early seedling growth is attributed to its osmotic effect rather than to a specific ion.
- Intervention effect Seedling growth was reduced by both NaCl and PEG stresses in cowpea.
- Intervention effect NaCl usually caused less seedling damage than PEG in cowpea.
