Potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate alleviated the NaCl-effect on the reduction of tomato fruit weight
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate application on tomato cultivars subjected to NaCl stress. The experiment was conducted at a greenhouse in Oman. Seedlings of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) were transplanted at the five leaf stage to pots filled with coastal sand. Plants were irrigated with half-strength Hoagland nutrient solution supplemented with 50 mM NaCl solution, 50 mM NaCl + 20 mM Ca(NO3)2, 50 mM NaCl solution + 2 mM KNO3, 50 mM NaCl + 20 mM Ca(NO3)2 + 2 mM KNO3 or were not supplemented.
