- Observation Increasing salinity raised several soil cadmium species, unlike NaNO3 treatment.
- Observation Higher salinity lowered total and free zinc in soil solution.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity lowered zinc concentration in wheat shoots.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer lowered shoot cadmium concentrations by 11 to 90%.
- Intervention effect Zinc fertilizer raised shoot zinc concentration by 75 to 103%.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased shoot dry matter.
- Intervention effect Zinc application improved salt tolerance.
