- Intervention effect Salt stress increased tomato sodium accumulation.
- Intervention effect Salt stress decreased tomato potassium concentration.
- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid in both tomato cultivars.
- Observation Rio Grande was classified as salt sensitive.
- Observation Moneymaker was classified as salt tolerant.
- Intervention effect Silicon alone improved tomato behavior compared with control.
- Intervention effect Silicon improved growth potential of NaCl stressed tomato plants.
- Association The ameliorative effect of silicon varied by cultivar and silicon concentration.
- Recommendation The authors suggest calcium silicate to mitigate salinity damage in tomato.
