“…Salinity reduces root development, water uptake as well as transpiration and respiration which results in perished hormonal balance, altered photosynthesis rate, decreased nitrate uptake, and cell growth. Overall, plant response to the above mentioned reduced physiological conditions occurs in yield and its components (Sonneveld et al, 1999;Wahome et al, 2000;Shillo et al, 2002;Paradiso et al, 2003;De Lucia et al, 2003;Grieve et al, 2005). The presence of zeolux as soil amendment could not reduce any of these negative effects of salinity at this high value of TDS.…”

The effect of Zeolux use as soil amendment on the yield and some of the agronomic traits of a home garden plant, Sage (Salvia officinalis), irrigated by either fresh or RO reject waters was studied. Clay and different combinations of clay-Jordanian zeolux were compared for that purpose. Each combination was divided into two subgroups at randomized experiment and irrigated with either fresh or RO reject waters. The combination of 75% clay and 25% zeolux irrigated with fresh water produced the best results in terms of plant height, number of branches, fresh weight, dry weight and root dry weight of sage plant. The results indicate that the use of RO reject water causes significant reduction in all the studied parameters above. The use of zeolux did not reduce the harmful effects of the saline water used for irrigation on the yield of sage.

“…Several studies have demonstrated that some ornamental plant species can be grown at high levels of salinity (Shillo et al, 2002;Grieve et al, 2005Grieve et al, , 2006. To date, most studies have focused predominantly on assessing salt tolerance, physiological responses, and nutritional status in herbaceous perennials (Eom et al, 2007;Zollinger et al, 2007), turf grasses (Marcum, 2006), and greenhouse ornamental crops (Carter et al, 2005a(Carter et al, , 2005bFriedman et al, 2007;Grieve et al, 2006;Sonneveld, 1988), while annual bedding plants, an important horticultural product and seasonal component of landscape design, have been largely ignored.…”

México 2 We conducted a study to determine if inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) would enhance the tolerance of vinca [Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don] plants to sodium chloride (NaCl)-induced salinity in irrigation water. Vinca tolerated salinity levels up to 40 mM. Chlorophyll concentration, proline synthesis, and total antioxidant activity were increased with saline irrigation, while leaf potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and boron (B) content decreased, suggesting a detrimental salinity effect. Despite the limited effect of increasing salinity on N content, NaCl-stressed vinca plants showed a marked decrease in nitrate reductase activity, which was associated with decreased leaf K and Fe total content. Mycorrhizal inoculation resulted in reduced growth when compared to non-AMF plants, regardless of salinity level. The K/sodium (Na) ratio decreased dramatically with increasing salinity regardless of AMF treatment. Suggesting, that the AMF isolate was not able to selectively uptake K and Ca, and avoid uptake of Na.

“…Dutch growers frequently employ solutions with compositions adjusted to the average salt composition of surface waters in the western portion of the Netherlands (Sonneveld, 1999). Shillo et al (2002) used saline solutions mimicking local well waters in the Negev Desert of Israel to determine the effect of salinity on growth and development of cut flower and bulb species. In addition, commercially acceptable scapes of celosia and sunflower were produced under irrigation with secondary-treated effluents available in the Arad area of the Negev (Friedman et al, 2007).…”

Water security has become a major concern throughout the western United States and other arid and semiarid regions worldwide. Uncertainties concerning the allocation and dependability of good quality water have led to increased interest in the use of alternative, non-potable waters for irrigated agriculture. Treated urban effluents, runoff from greenhouse operations, agricultural drainage waters, or naturally-occurring low quality waters are abundant in many arid or semiarid areas. Reuse of these waters for production of floral and nursery crops requires an understanding of plant response to the stress imposed by inorganic salts in the irrigation waters. Such an understanding will allow growers to match specific crops to available water qualities, and further, to institute management practices to sustain quality of the marketable product. This report reviews the results of studies conducted at the U.S. Salinity Laboratory, Riverside, CA, on the effect of saline irrigation waters on yield and quality of ten species of herbaceous cut flower crops. Test crops were: snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.), celosia (Celosia argentea var. cristata (L.) Kuntz), sunflower (Helianthus annuus (L.)), statice (Limonium perezii (Snapf) F.T. Hubb) and L. sinuatum (L.) Mill), stock (Matthiola incana (L.) R. Br.), ranunculus (Ranunculus asiatica L.), marigold (Tagetes erecta L. and T. patula L.), and zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq.). Treatment waters were prepared to simulate the inorganic chemistry of recyclable waters available in different areas of California. Guidelines are presented for reuse of degraded water for production of commercially important cut flower crops, and also for selection of crops suitable for salt-affected landscape sites.
