Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Low NaCl concentrations had a specific ion effect with minimal yield depression in lettuce.
- Association Higher NaCl concentrations were associated with a reduction in water potential in lettuce.
- Mechanism Water potential controls the NaCl dose-response, as verified by a similar curve under PEG 6000 and high-strength nutrient solution.
- Intervention effect The second Ni dose-response phase was associated with an 87% yield reduction in lettuce.
- Observation Ni was toxic to lettuce at a relatively low concentration.
- Association The NaCl and Ni interaction was additive in the first Ni dose-response phase.
- Intervention effect High Ni shifted the first-phase NaCl toxicity threshold toward being less sensitive.
- Intervention effect High Ni decreased the specific ion effect of Na in lettuce.
- Intervention effect Ni reduced Na absorption in lettuce plant tissue.
