t0“tomato”
e0“a greenhouse experiment was conducted in a soilless system”
e1“Increasing the Zn level caused 7.7, 7.7, 3.3, 4 and 31.3% decrease in RGR, RLGR, LWR, LWCA and sugar content”
e2“The base solution (Hoagland solution) contained 20 mM cadmium in all the treatments”
e3“The results showed that Zn treatments had significant effect on some growth indices including RGR, RLGR, LWR, LWCA, dry weight of aerial parts and soluble sugar content”
