Effects of Exogenous Salicylic Acid on Morphological and Biochemical Characteristics of Jatropha Curcas L. Irrigated with Saline Water
Abstract:Salinity is one of the major rate-limiting to crop productivity. A field study was conducted at two developmental stages of Jatropha curcas L. namely: the juvenile stage (1-2 years) and the early mature stage (3-4 years). Three levels of water salinity were prepared by diluting sea water (Suez Canal water) to give 2.3, 4.7 and 7.0 dSm -1 , in addition to fresh water (0.32dSm -1 ). Jatropha plants were foliar sprayed with three levels of salicylic acid (0.0, 5.0 and 10 mM). On the juvenile stage, the obtained r… Show more
