“…The increase in the levels of irrigation water salinity led to an increment in the soluble solids content of West Indian cherry fruit pulp, which is considered extremely important for products that are marketed fresh, because the increase in the concentration of soluble solids is positively correlated with the contents of sugars and organic acids (CANUTO et al, 2010). Zhang, Senge and Dai (2016) concluded that high levels of NaCl in water promoted an increment in the soluble solids contents of tomato fruits. The results obtained in this study are in agreement with those reported by Freire et al (2014), who found that the increase in water salinity levels of 0.5 and 4.5 dS m -1 promoted significant increase in the soluble solids contents of yellow passion fruit.…”

In the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil due to the qualitative and quantitative scarcity of water resources, the use of saline water should be considered as an alternative to expand irrigated agriculture. However, the use of waters with high levels of salts depends on management practices that minimize deleterious effects on plants. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of irrigation with water of increasing salinity and fertilization with phosphorus on the postharvest physicochemical composition of fresh fruits of West Indian cherry, cv. 'BRS 366 Jaburu'. The research was carried out in a protected environment, in lysimeters with Neossolo Regolítico Psamitico Típico (Entisol) of clay loam texture, using a randomized block design, in a 5x2 factorial scheme with three replicates and one plant per plot, relative to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity (0.6; 1.4; 2.2; 3.0 and 3.8 dS m -1 ) and two phosphorus doses [100 and 140% of the recommendation of Musser. Increase in water salinity reduced fruit size and fresh mass formation, but increased soluble solids contents and titratable acidity in the pulp of West Indian cherry fruits. Phosphate fertilization, regardless of dose, stimulated the formation of fresh mass of West Indian cherry fruits. Water salinity inhibited the formation of ascorbic acid in West Indian cherry fruits, and the highest value was observed in plants irrigated with 0.6 dS m -1 water and fertilized with a dose of 100% of the recommendation of P 2 O 5 . QUALIDADE FISICO-QUIMICA DE FRUTOS DE ACEROLEIRA IRRIGADO COM ÁGUAS SALINAS E ADUBAÇÃO FOSFATADARESUMO -No semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro devido à escassez qualitativa e quantitativa dos recursos hidricos o uso de água salina deve ser considerado como uma alternativa para expandir a agricultura irrigada. Contudo, a utilização de águas com níveis elevados de sais depende de práticas de manejo que minimizem os efeitos deletérios sobre as plantas. Neste contexto, objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da irrigação com água de salinidade crescente e adubação com fósforo na composição físico-química pós-colheita dos frutos in natura de aceroleira 'BRS 366 Jaburu'. A pesquisa foi realizada em ambiente protegido, em lisímetros com Neossolo Regolítico Psamitico Típico de textura franco-argilosa, utilizando-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 5x2 com três repetições e uma planta por parcela, relativo aos cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação de 0,6; 1,4; 2,2; 3,0 e 3,8 dS m -1 e duas doses de fósforo de 100 e 140% da recomendação de Musser. O aumento da salinidade das águas reduziu o tamanho dos frutos e a formação de massa fresca, mas aumentou os teores de sólidos solúveis e acidez titulável da polpa dos frutos de aceroleira. A adubação fosfatada, independente da dose estimulou a formação de massa fresca de frutos de aceroleira. A salinidade das águas inibiu a formação de ácido ascórbico dos frutos de aceroleira sendo maior valor observado nas plantas ir...

“…The economic efficiency of tomato plant production depends on the right crop management practices by which plants can perform well under salt stress conditions (Ayers and Westcot, 1999;Zhang et al, 2017). Nevertheless, tomato yield and fruit quality reduction has been described in both soil and hydroponic growth managements (Al-Busaidi et al, 2009;Bao and Li, 2010;Blanco and Folegatti, 2008;Bustomi Rosadi et al, 2014;Cosme et al, 2011;Freire et al, 2010;Maggio et al, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2007).…”

“…In the literature, several studies have shown that both Brix°and TA can make considerable gains with increased salinity in the medium (Azarmi et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2017). The salt application in irrigation water or the use of moderate saline water could be a strategy to achieve high commercial quality fruits, with increased levels soluble solid content and titrable acidity (Zhang et al, 2017).…”

“…Tomato can be classified as a moderate salt-sensitive crop, possessing a salinity threshold measured as electrical conductivity (EC) at 2.5 dS • m -1 , with relative yield losses of 50% when the substrate salinity is 7.6 dS • m -1 (Maas and Hoffmann, 1977). Tomato yield inhibition under salt-stress conditions, due to saline irrigation water, saline nutrient solution, or excessive fertilizer application, can be related to the number of bunches, fruit per bunch, and average fruit mass (Ehret et al, 2013;Medeiros et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2013b;Zhang et al, 2017).…”

This research aimed to evaluate the yield and quality of tomato plants under different managements of salt stress by adopting the partial root-zone saline irrigation (PRSI) system. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Universidade Federal Rural do SemiÁrido (UFERSA), Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized, with six treatments and four replicates, totaling 24 plots. The treatments consisted of six different irrigation management regimes using low and high saline water (S1–0.5 and S2–5.0 dS·m−1), applied with or without PRSI, such that one side of the root-zone was submitted to saline water whilst the other side was water low salinity irrigated. For treatments T1 (control), T2 (S2 water), and T3 (alternate irrigation system between S1 and S2, with a cycling period of 15 d for each one), the PRSI was not applied; T4 (irrigation with S1 and S2, adopting the PRSI system from phase II to phase IV), T5 (irrigation with S1 and S2 in phase II, alternating in phase III; in phase III the inversion of the remaining water was made until the end of phase IV), and T6 (irrigation with S1 and S2, adopting the PRSI system in phase II, with the water switched between low and high saline water every 15 days, remaining until the end of phase IV) treatments were under the PRSI. The number of fruit per plant, fruit weight, fruit longitudinal and transverse diameter, pulp firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, pH, vitamin C, color relation (a*/b*), lycopene, and β-carotene were determined as parameters for the fruit yield and quality evaluation. Our findings reinforce the importance of the use of PRSI systems followed by irrigation managements without loss of product quality, such as demonstrated by T4 and T5 water managements.

“…Salinity is one of the common factors causing significant reduction in crop yields and affecting plant growth (Hassan et al, 2015). It causes disturbance of water balance, closure of leaf stomata and inhibition of cell division (Zhang et al, 2016). It also reduces the production of leaf photo-assimilates due to stomatal closure and the accumulation of Na + and Clin leaves (Romero-Aranda and Syvertsen, 1996).…”

Salinity problem is a major abiotic stress affecting tomato growth. In Lebanon, the problem is rising in coastal zone and Northern (Baalback-Hermel belt) areas. The current work aimed to study the effect of Monopotassiumphosphate (MKP), Lithovit® (LITHO) (nano-CaCO 3 ), Glycine betaine (GB) and Aspirin (ASP) applied each in three concentrations (Low, Med and High) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) subjected to five salinity levels (EC=2,4,6,8 and 10 dS/m). Control treatments were those subjected to the five salinity levels with no products application. Results showed that increased salt stress reduced fresh weight of aboveground parts and roots while MKP-High improved fresh weight of aboveground parts at EC8 (by 44.6g) and EC10 (32.7g) and ASP-Med improved fresh weight of roots by 18g at EC10 compared to control. Root mass fraction was enhanced by Aspirin applied with all concentrations at EC2 and EC4 and by Lithovit at EC8. Dry matter accumulation in the aboveground parts was only improved by MKP at EC4, 6 and 10 and by Lithovit at EC6 and 8. Leaf area was reduced by 142.4g and cell electrolyte leakage was increased by 17% with increasing salinity. Lithovit enhanced leaf area with Lithovit-Med and total chlorophyll content with all concentrations at all ECs. Finally at EC4 total soluble solids increased following the application of Lithovit, MKP, ASP and GB with the highest concentrations, while Titratable acidity was increased only with GB-low. In conclusion, products' effects varied with EC level and applied dose.
