Claim · model-written summary
Seawater is a less stressful growing medium than a NaCl solution at comparable EC, with physiological parameters, mineral elements, phenolics and proline indicating this.
Verbatim
e1“Physiological parameters and the concentration of mineral elements, phenolics and proline also demonstrated that, due to different mineral composition, seawater is a less stressful growing medium compared to a NaCl solution at comparable EC”
t0“Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pallas) Kuntz.) and Glycophyte (Lactuca sativa L.)”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Growth rates of Tetragonia did not vary between the two types of salt stress.
- Intervention effect Diluted seawater gave a higher fresh and dry biomass yield in the salt-sensitive lettuce than the NaCl treatment.
- Intervention effect NaCl reduced water consumption and water productivity in Tetragonia.
- Intervention effect In lettuce, NaCl-treated plants had lower water use efficiency and water productivity than under the EC-comparable seawater treatment.
