- Intervention effect Salinity aggravated internal fruit rot incidence in eggplants.
- Observation Affected fruits contained less calcium than normal fruits.
- Intervention effect High salt solutions of different ionic composition had no specific effect on internal fruit rot at identical conductivity.
- Intervention effect High salt solutions of different ionic composition had no specific effect on fruit calcium concentration at identical conductivity.
- Intervention effect Salinity did not reduce leaf calcium concentration.
- Observation Most fruits showed internal fruit rot under salinity.
- Observation K, Mg and N concentrations did not differ significantly between diseased and normal fruits.
- Observation P, N a and Cl concentrations did not differ significantly between diseased and normal fruits.
- Observation Mg concentration was slightly higher in diseased fruits.
