Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Pb-contaminated irrigation water decreased growth and yield parameters of tomato by 54% to 98%.
- Intervention effect The 10 ppm Pb treatment delayed first fruit harvest by 1-2 days in both crops.
- Association The inhibitory effect of Pb on photosynthetic pigments gradually increased with Pb concentration.
- Intervention effect The 10 ppm Pb treatment gave the lowest photosynthetic pigment level compared with control.
- Intervention effect The 10 ppm Pb treatment gave the maximum inhibition rate of photosynthetic pigments compared with control.
- Association Tomato was more sensitive to Pb than eggplant.
- Method / resource A third-degree polynomial described the Pb responses of both crops with R2 > 99%.
