TOLERANCE OF SOME TOMATO CULTIVARS TO SALINITY |
| Authors: | M. Mohamed, L. Hussein |
| Abstract:
Sand culture experiment was conducted to differentiate between 41 cvs. of tomato in their salt tolerance when treated with NaCl at concentrations of 250 and 400 meg/l. At the end of the observation period, health rating was greatest with cvs: Floradade, UC 97–3 and Super Marmande and least with cvs: Loteria, Pirate, NS 213 and Kino, for both concentrations used. The results strongly suggested that the use of a concentration of 400 meg/l NaCl is of great importance for examining the plant tolerance as it a time saving method. | |
