Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl concentration decreased leaf water potential and total leaf chlorophyll of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl concentration decreased nitrogen fixation of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl concentration increased stomatal diffusive resistance of snapbean.
- Intervention effect At the highest NaCl level, adding CaSO4 increased leaf water potential of snapbean via increased stomatal diffusive resistance.
- Intervention effect Adding CaCl2 to NaCl did not produce the leaf water potential increase seen with CaSO4.
- Intervention effect Adding CaSO4 to all NaCl levels increased total leaf chlorophyll of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Adding CaSO4 to 0.4 and 0.8 S m-1 NaCl increased shoot and root dry weight and nitrogen fixation of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Adding CaCl2 to NaCl did not change shoot and root dry weight or nitrogen fixation of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl concentration increased leaf Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl concentration decreased the leaf K+/Na+ ratio of snapbean.
- Intervention effect Total leaf nitrogen of snapbean increased at 0.4 and 1.2 S m-1 NaCl and at all CaSO4 levels.
- Intervention effect CaSO4 and CaCl2 had no significant effect on leaf K+, Na+ or Mg2+ of snapbean at any NaCl level.
- Intervention effect Leaf Ca2+ of snapbean increased with increasing CaSO4 or CaCl2 concentration.
- Intervention effect Only CaSO4 showed an interaction with NaCl on leaf Ca2+ of snapbean.
- Observation Speciation modelling indicates that a considerable amount of sulphate was complexed as CaSO4 and NaSO4 species in the solution.
- Intervention effect CaSO4 treatment ameliorated NaCl-induced salinity symptoms in snapbean.
