Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Increasing chloride from 15 to 60 mg Cl·L−1 enhanced total and marketable tomato fruit yield; yield was optimal at 60 to 90 mg Cl·L−1 and the 120 mg Cl·L−1 level declined it.
- Intervention effect Increasing chloride in the nutrient solution raised chlorine content in tomato leaves; the best yield occurred at 0.48–0.60 % leaf chlorine.
- Intervention effect Chloride above 60 mg C·L−1 reduced leaf nitrogen content; chloride above 90 mg C·L−1 reduced leaf calcium, sulfur and zinc content.
- Association An antagonism was found between chloride and nitrogen, calcium, sulfur and zinc in tomato leaves.
- Intervention effect Higher chloride (90 to 120 mg·L−1) increased tomato potassium and boron content.
- Observation Chloride contents had no tested effect on macro and microelement contents in drip solution, but element contents rose in the rockwool root medium.
- Recommendation The abstract recommends maintaining 60 to 90 mg Cl·L−1 in tomato nutrient solution for adequate chlorine nutrition.
- Observation Sodium content in the root medium rose by 95.1 and 64.9 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Calcium content in the root medium rose by 76.0 and 70.1 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Copper content in the root medium rose by 62.5 and 71.0 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Chlorine content in the root medium rose by 43.6 and 24.4 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Boron content in the root medium rose by 33.3 and 21.0 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Nitrate-nitrogen content in the root medium rose by 30.4 and 49.6 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Zinc content in the root medium rose by 29.5 and 32.8 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Sulfate-sulfur content in the root medium rose by 25.9 and 25.5 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Potassium content in the root medium rose by 24.5 and 24.1 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Iron content in the root medium rose by 19.8 and 19.2 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Manganese content in the root medium rose by 17.5 and 21.3 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
- Observation Magnesium content in the root medium rose by 14.9 and 11.7 % (Exp. I and II) under the chloride treatments.
