Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect At 3 dS m−1, salinity did not decrease kale yield.
- Intervention effect Selenium addition increased kale yield at all salinity levels.
- Intervention effect Selenium addition did not increase kale salt tolerance.
- Intervention effect Adding 0.25 mg Se per kg of soil increased kale yield by an average of 11% relative to control.
- Observation Kale yield loss began between 3 and 6 dS m−1 irrigation water salinity.
- Observation Kale had 50% yield loss at EC 6.
