Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Irrigation with 6.5 and 9.0 dS·m -1 reduced the rate of photosynthesis by 50% during fruit development.
- Intervention effect Irrigation with 4.0 dS·m -1 gave significantly lower photosynthetic rates than the control during fruit development.
- Association Stomatal conductance decreased as salinity increased.
- Association Salinity affected transpiration through the change in stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration showed no consistent difference with or without plastic mulch.
- Intervention effect Saline treatments reduced marketable yield by 17%, 64%, 96% and 100% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect The number of fruit per plant was significantly lower at 4.0 dS·m -1 or higher salinity.
- Intervention effect Plastic mulches did not significantly change marketable yield or fruit number compared with non-mulch.
- Association Water consumption decreased as salinity level increased, by 11%, 20%, 38% and 52% of the control value.
- Intervention effect Mulching the soil reduced water consumption by 30% compared with bare soil.
