Abstract:Irrigation with brackish water reduces watermelon yield in the Brazilian semiarid region, requiring the establishment of management strategies that reduce the negative impacts caused by salt stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphophysiology and concentration of inorganic solutes in watermelon crops subjected to different electrical conductivities of the irrigation water, using hardened seedlings or direct sowing. The experiment was conducted in the Baixo Acarau Irrigated Perimeter, in th… Show more
