Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Salinity and K did not interact.
- Intervention effect Salinity decreased germination percent, not always significantly.
- Intervention effect Salinity drastically reduced seedling biomass.
- Observation Raccoon germination percent significantly increased at 60 mmolc L−1.
- Observation Gazelle maintained germination percent up to 60 or 120 mmolc L−1.
- Intervention effect At the lowest K dose, shoot biomass increased at salinities of 30 and 60 mmolc L−1 after 50 days.
- Intervention effect Salinity did not affect shoot N, P or K.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced shoot Ca, Mg and S.
- Observation Plants had no salt toxicity or mineral deficiency symptoms.
- Observation Authors conclude seedlings are more salt-sensitive, whereas plants adjust over time.
- Observation Authors conclude spinach K requirements are below current crop recommendations.
- Recommendation Authors recommend cultivation with moderately to highly saline water without substantial yield, appearance or composition loss.
