Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced alfalfa K+ content.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased alfalfa Na+ content.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced alfalfa growth.
- Observation RWC fell less than K+ under salinity.
- Mechanism Ionic stress harmed alfalfa forage dry yield more than water deficit.
- Observation Root cells had higher K+ content than leaves.
- Observation Root cells had higher Na+ content than leaves.
- Mechanism Root cells were interpreted as having a major defensive role against salinity.
- Mechanism Reduced K+/Na+ ratio was identified as the main factor decreasing forage dry yield.
- Recommendation High-salt irrigation was considered possible with good subsoil drainage and regular salt-water removal.
- Recommendation Foliar potassium was suggested to ameliorate salinity effects on growth.
