Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation salinity reduced cotton seed yield.
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation salinity reduced cotton total dry weight.
- Intervention effect Higher irrigation salinity did not reduce total or open boll numbers.
- Intervention effect The lower irrigation K/Na ratio benefited most cotton agronomic traits.
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation salinity increased sodium content in cotton leaves.
- Intervention effect Decreasing irrigation K/Na ratio decreased cotton leaf K/Na ratio.
- Association Higher irrigation salinity was associated with lower leaf water potential.
- Association Higher irrigation K/Na ratio was associated with lower leaf water potential.
- Association Cotton seed yield was strongly related to leaf water potential and leaf K/total bases content.
- Association Leaf K/Na and K/total bases content were strongly associated with leaf water potential.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that a K/Na ratio of 1:9 could be useful for irrigating cotton under high salinity.
- Mechanism Potassium additions may reduce salinity effects through improved plant water relations and ionic balance.
