- Intervention effect Increasing salinity from <2 to 8 dS/m reduced castor seed germination.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity from <2 to 8 dS/m reduced castor shoot growth and shoot dry weight.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity from <2 to 8 dS/m reduced castor root growth and root dry weight.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity from <2 to 8 dS/m reduced the relative water content of castor plants.
- Intervention effect Increased soil salinity raised the plant Na/K ratio in castor.
- Observation Genotypes 481, DCH 151, DCH 149, DCH32, DCS86, TMV6, DPC 9, DeS 82 and GC 2 showed better salinity tolerance than the other genotypes.
