Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Cotton genotypes showed significant genetic variation in salt response at three and six weeks.
- Recommendation Salt tolerance screening in early cotton establishment is optimal.
- Intervention effect Salt treatment had negative effects on growth traits of cotton.
- Intervention effect Salt treatment did not reduce chlorophyll content and fluorescence in cotton.
- Association Organic loam soil amended with dairy manure had higher pre-treatment salinity content than conventional clay soil.
- Intervention effect Manure-amended soil caused greater initial growth suppression of cotton at zero weeks than conventional clay soil.
- Observation Genotype by soil or treatment interactions were absent in cotton salt screening.
- Recommendation Control (non-saline) treatments may not be needed for cotton salt tolerance screening.
- Observation Soil type had little bearing on screening cotton genotypes for salt tolerance.
- Recommendation Three to six weeks of salt treatment after the second true leaf stage is an adequate duration to screen cotton for salt tolerance.
