RE Holloway; AM Alston Australian Journal of Agricultural Research 1992. doi:10.1071/ar9920987
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Salt decreased wheat tillering, dry matter production, and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Salt decreased wheat root length and water-use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Salt increased sodium concentration and decreased boron concentration in wheat.
- Intervention effect Salt decreased boron concentrations in wheat.
- Intervention effect Boron decreased wheat dry matter production, grain yield, and root length.
- Intervention effect Boron did not decrease wheat tillering.
- Intervention effect Boron decreased wheat water-use efficiency for both total dry weight and grain yield.
- Intervention effect Boron increased boron concentration in wheat plants.
- Intervention effect Boron decreased sodium concentration in wheat plants.
- Observation Boron was more deleterious to wheat than salt at the tested concentrations.
