Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Tomato yield was significantly reduced in the saline (NaCl) treatments.
- Intervention effect Tomato yield was not affected by foliar silicon application.
- Intervention effect NaCl concentrations reduced tomato fruit pH by 6.2% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect NaCl concentrations increased tomato fruit titratable acidity by 64.8% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect NaCl concentrations increased tomato fruit total soluble solids by 80% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect NaCl treatments increased the TSS/TA ratio of tomato fruit compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar application of 75 mg Si L-1 reduced tomato fruit pH by 0.6%.
- Intervention effect The 150 mg Si L-1 foliar dose increased tomato fruit EC and TSS/TA ratio.
- Intervention effect In plants given 50 mM NaCl plus either Si dose, tomato fruit pH increased.
- Intervention effect Treatments with 100 mM NaCl plus either Si dose significantly reduced tomato fruit titratable acidity.
- Intervention effect The TSS/TA ratio of tomato fruit increased with both Si doses in the 100 mM NaCl treatments.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combining saline treatments with silicon can improve some quality attributes of tomato cv. Río Supremo fruits.
