- 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.
