- Intervention effect Total plant dry weight and dry matter partitioning were not affected at 2, 4 and 6 mS salinity.
- Intervention effect Total plant dry weight was reduced by 19% at 10 mS compared with 2 mS.
- Intervention effect Proportional partitioning of dry matter into organs was unaffected at 10 mS.
- Intervention effect Proportion of total plant weight in fruit was only slightly reduced at 17 mS.
