Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Raising irrigation EC from 2 to 3 dS·m −1 decreased Yellow ASD shoot dry weight by 83%.
- Intervention effect Raising irrigation EC from 2 to 3 dS·m −1 decreased Pink CTD shoot dry weight by 78%.
- Intervention effect At 6 dS·m −1, Pink CDT tuberous root fresh weight fell by 89%.
- Intervention effect High irrigation pH further reduced shoot dry weight and tuberous root weight.
- Intervention effect Yellow ASD root sprouting dropped from 83% in controls to 42.9% at EC 4 and 11.1% at EC 6.
- Intervention effect Pink CTD root sprouting decreased to 58.3% at EC 4.
- Intervention effect Yellow ASD root sprouting decreased to 11.1% at EC 6.
- Intervention effect Pink CTD root sprouting decreased to 45.0% at EC 6.
- Association Salinity significantly lowered tissue calcium and potassium.
- Intervention effect Yellow ASD calcium declined from 202 to 130 mmol·kg −1 under 3 dS·m −1 irrigation.
- Intervention effect Pink CTD calcium declined from 198 to 166 mmol·kg −1.
- Intervention effect At EC 6, shoot sodium rose by 101% in Yellow ASD.
- Intervention effect At EC 6, shoot sodium rose by 125% in Pink CTD.
- Intervention effect Alkaline irrigation increased salt sensitivity and tissue sodium and chloride while decreasing iron accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors conclude ranunculus is a poor candidate for water reuse systems.
