Clonal Variability in Photosynthetic and Growth Characteristics of Populus Deltoides Under Saline Irrigation
2000
Singh, M. | Jain, M. | Pant, R.C.
Fifty-d-old poplar (Populus deltoides L.) plants were irrigated with 50-200 mM NaCl. 100 and 200 mM NaCl significantly reduced net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, leaf area, dry matter accumulation, and harvest index (HI) in all tested poplar clones (Bahar, S7C15, and WSL22). Clone S7C15 was more tolerant to salinity than the other clones.
