Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The acquired yield coefficient Ky of 1.003 indicates that spinach is moderately salt-sensitive.
- Observation The highest WUE was observed under deficit-irrigation and intermediate salinity conditions.
- Mechanism The highest WUE under deficit-irrigation and intermediate salinity was attributed to an adaptation mechanism in spinach.
- Method / resource WUEθ was a better predictor of spinach yield than WUE.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen use efficiency decreased with increasing salinity and water deficiency.
- Association Ψm and Ψs had a synergistic interaction on spinach yield and ET.
- Association Ψm and Ψs had an antagonistic interaction on WUE and WUEθ.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced spinach yield more than drought.
- Intervention effect Salinity and drought had equal reducing effects on spinach ET.
- Association WUE and WUEθ were more influenced by Ψm than by Ψs.
- Association Ψm had negative effects on spinach yield and ET.
- Association Ψm had positive effects on WUE and WUEθ.
