Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 3 g L −1 enhanced net photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Higher salinity at 5 and 8 g L −1 harmed crop development and productivity.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 3 g L −1 increased yield 5.92% in 2021 over control.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 3 g L −1 increased yield 4.76% in 2022 over control.
- Mechanism Salinity influenced seed cotton yield through transpiration-mediated LAI and dry matter changes.
- Intervention effect Salinity directly affected fiber micronaire and uniformity.
- Method / resource Regression identified 1.76–3.00 g L −1 as the optimal salinity range for yield, quality and WUE.
