Influence of moderate levels of NaCl and CaCl2 salinity on cucumber grown in a closed hydroponic system
2005
Trajkova, F.
The effects of different levels and sources of salinity on growth. yield and quality of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Palmera), grown in a system using perlite as a substrate were studied in a greenhouse different salinity treatments imposed in the nutrient solution supplied tested. The different salinity levels imposed either by NaCl or CaCl2 did not affect the vitamin C and chlorophyll content of cucumber fruits. However, the total soluble solids were significantly enhanced when the EC level in the nutrient solution increased from 3.0 to 5.0 dS m SUP(-1) regardless of using NaCl or CaCl2 to raise salinity.
