- Intervention effect Vegetative growth declined above soil salinity of 6.0 dS m−1.
- Association Onion seed yield decreased 6% for each unit increase in soil salinity.
- Intervention effect Seed yield at 8.10 dS m−1 was half that of the unsalinized control.
- Intervention effect Thousand-seed weight was unaffected by saline conditions.
- Intervention effect Salinity had no adverse effect on seed germination.
