Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Peanut shoot dry weight increased with a higher NH4+/NO3- ratio.
- Intervention effect Raising N concentration from 2 to 6 mM did not change peanut shoot dry weight in NH4NO3 or NH4+-fed plants.
- Intervention effect Raising N concentration from 2 to 6 mM reduced peanut shoot dry weight in NO3--fed plants.
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl to 50 mM did not affect peanut shoot dry weight.
- Intervention effect Salt increased the number of gynophores per peanut plant.
- Intervention effect A NaCl concentration of 100 mM and above reduced peanut gynophore vitality.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that salt sensitivity of peanut resides mainly in the sensitivity of its reproductive organs.
