Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Humic acid at both applied levels mitigated salinity effects on vegetative traits versus controls.
- Intervention effect Humic acid and grafting compensated for salinity-induced reduction in leaf relative water content.
- Observation Grafted plants with no NaCl and 20 mg L −1 humic acid had the highest relative water content, 86.65%.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect Humic acid and grafting improved electrolyte leakage under salinity.
- Observation Grafted plants with no NaCl and 20 mg L −1 humic acid had the lowest electrolyte leakage, 26.95%.
- Observation Catalase was highest at 10 dS m −1 NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid, at 0.53 mmol H 2 O 2 g −1 fw min −1.
- Observation Peroxidase was highest at 10 dS m −1 NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid, at 12.290 mmol H 2 O 2 g −1 fw min −1.
- Observation Total phenol reached its highest amount, 1.99 mg g −1 FW, in grafted plants with no NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid.
- Observation Total flavonoid reached its highest amount, 0.486 mg g −1 FW, in grafted plants with no NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid.
- Observation Total soluble carbohydrate reached its highest amount, 30.80 mg g −1 FW, in grafted plants with no NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid.
- Observation Soluble protein reached its highest amount, 34.56 mg g −1 FW, in grafted plants with no NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid.
- Observation Proline reached its highest amount, 3.86 µg g −1 FW, in grafted plants with no NaCl and 200 mg L −1 humic acid.
- Association Phenolic acids, PAL and PPO increased with salinity and humic acid levels.
- Intervention effect Salt stress increased sodium and chlorine in roots and leaves of ungrafted cucumber.
- Intervention effect Salt stress decreased potassium and calcium in roots and leaves of ungrafted cucumber.
- Intervention effect Applying 200 mg L −1 humic acid appeared to mitigate salinity effects on root and leaf ions.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 200 mg L −1 humic acid spray and salt-resistant rootstocks to increase salt tolerance.
- Mechanism Fig leaf gourd rootstock improved cucumber salt tolerance, yield and quality by reducing shoot sodium transport and increasing compatible osmolytes.
