Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect KCl + CaCl2 at EC8 caused the most significant reduction in plant height, shoot fresh weight and fruit yield of pepper.
- Intervention effect KCl + CaCl2 at EC8 caused the most significant reduction in nutrient uptake of pepper.
- Intervention effect KNO3 + CaNO3 at EC5 showed no difference from control in many growth parameters of pepper.
- Intervention effect KNO3 + CaNO3 at EC5 resulted in higher shoot fresh weight than control.
- Intervention effect All salinity treatments except KNO3 + CaNO3 at EC5 reduced fruit yield compared to control.
- Intervention effect KCl + CaCl2 at EC8 increased leaf proline concentration, catalase and peroxidase activity compared to control.
- Intervention effect KNO3 + CaNO3 + NaCl at EC8 increased leaf proline concentration, catalase and peroxidase activity compared to control.
- Observation Other conductivity treatments showed no difference in catalase or peroxidase enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect KCl + CaCl2 at EC8 gave the significant lowest leaf N, K, Mg and Ca concentrations of pepper.
- Intervention effect KNO3 + CaNO3 at EC5 and/or EC8 showed higher leaf N and Ca values than control.
- Intervention effect KCl + CaCl2 particularly at EC8 reduced leaf micronutrient concentrations of pepper.
