Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Growth retardant-treated sunflower plants showed better growth at both salinity levels.
- Intervention effect Growth retardants gave better sunflower yield only under the lower salinity level.
- Intervention effect Retardant-treated sunflower plants were unable to alter the decline of transpiration or the increase of stomatal conductance under salinity.
- Intervention effect Retardants partially checked the salinity-induced increase of Na and Cl ion accumulation in sunflower.
- Intervention effect Retardants maintained higher metabolic status of sunflower leaves under salinity.
