“…Sodium chloride salinity reduces the root uptake and leaf accumulation of NO 3 − due to the antagonistic inhibition of NO 3 − by Cl − [51]. In several species that were grown in water culture, the leaf NO 3 − content was lower with 40 or 60 mM NaCl in the nutrient solution, as compared to NaCl-free solution [52]. Conversely, in SC that was grown hydroponically, Kaburagi et al [30] found that Na, not K, increased plant NO 3 − uptake by enhancing its transport in the xylem from roots to leaves.…”

There is an increasing interest in the use of seawater in horticulture. The objective of this study was to evaluate Beta vulgaris var. cicla (Swiss chard) and its wild ancestor B. vulgaris spp. maritima (sea beet) as potential crop species for seawater hydroponics or aquaponics. Both species were grown in a floating system for leaf production with recurrent harvests. The nutrient solutions contained different concentrations of nitrate (1 and 10 mM) and a synthetic sea salt (0 and 10 g L−1), in a factorial design, where the saline solution with a low nitrate level intended to mimic the typical nutritional conditions of saltwater aquaponics. In both species, increasing the salinity or reducing the N level in the nutrient solution reduced the crop yield and total dry biomass. In both Swiss chard and sea beet, the use of saline water resulted in a lower leaf concentration of K, Ca, Cu, and Mn, and a greater content of Na and Cl. In Swiss chard, an increase in Na and Cl and a decrease in K leaf content were found in successive harvests. On average, sea beet showed a higher leaf production and accumulation of nitrate than Swiss chard.
