“…5. Plant growth and dry weight decreased with increasing salinity in irrigation water, as also confirmed in crops and other plants (Chauhan et al, 2008;Karlberg et al, 2007;Malash et al, 2008;Mantell et al, 1985;Sonneveld et al, 1999;Valdez-Aguilar et al, 2011). Under our experimental conditions, there was greater plant height and stem diameter over the two years in K1 treatment using 0.8 dS/m irrigation water, and plants irrigated with 7.8 dS/m saline water had the poorest growth.…”

Using the U.S. Salinity Laboratory classification system of salinity tolerance in ornamental species, rose planted in coastal saline sandy loam soil ranks as sensitive (0-3 dS/m) to salt at emergence stage and during the growth season, based on EC e (Miyamoto, 2008).…”

“…Roses are also one of the most common and basic of landscaping plants; however, they are generally sensitive to salinity of >3.0 dS/m EC. Grown rose crop of the threshold value was reported as 1-2.4 dS/m in soilless cultures and 1-3 dS/m in soil cultures which were calculated by flower characteristics (De Kreij and Berg, 1990;Feigin et al, 1989;Hughes and Hanan, 1978;Ishida et al, 1979;Sonneveld et al, 1999;Yaron et al, 1969;Zeroni and Gale, 1989). Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis), a conventional landscape flower plant and sensitive to soil salinity, was examined in the present study.…”

a b s t r a c tDrip-irrigation with saline water was used for reclamation of very heavy coastal saline soils and its effects on salt-sensitive plants were also evaluated in a three-year trial in the coastal region of east China. The original soil salinity expressed as electrical conductivity of the saturation paste extract (EC e ) was an average of 27.13 dS/m in the 0-100 cm depth. The experiment included five treatments of salinity levels of 0.8, 3.1, 4.7, 6.3 and 7.8 dS/m of irrigation water. Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis), a salt-sensitive species, were planted in the sandy loam soil to determine the effect of saline environment on growth characters and dry matter production. Drip-irrigation had a significant positive impact on salt leaching, and the very highly saline soil became mildly saline after reclamation in root zone of soil profiles irrigated with water of salinity up to 7.8 dS/m. An increase in salinity of irrigation water had adverse effects on plant height, stem diameter, survival rate and dry matter production. Root:shoot ratio increased with increasing water salinity. The values of soil-salt tolerance threshold were 2.39 dS/m at emergence and 2.78 dS/m in the growth period after emergence. The emergence rate and dry mass decreased by 27.39 and 41.19% for each unit of EC e increase in the root zone, respectively. These results implied that drip-irrigation with saline water by controlling soil matric potential under a gravel-sand layer was effective in reclamation of this very heavy coastal saline soil for sensitive species such as Chinese rose.

“…Soil salinity along city transportation routes is due to human activity, such as using sodium chloride to remove snow from roads, streets, and pavements [Bach et al, 2009]. Salt concentrations that exceed plant tolerance level cause growth inhibition [Villarino and Matsson, 2011], reduce flower quality [Sonneveld et al, 1999], trigger leaf browning and drying [Cassaniti et al, 2012], and finally result in plant organ death [Niu and Cabrera, 2010;Parihar et al, 2015]. Salinity has a negative impact on photosynthesis [Vetach-Blohm et al, 2013], water management [Ma et al, 2012] and enzymatic activity [Zhang et al, 2014].…”

Ornamental plants growing in urban areas are exposed to soil salinity that negatively affects their quality. Identifying species that retain high ornamental value despite salt stress is therefore of high practical importance. Curly kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. sabellica L.) is an attractive plant with leaves of both edible and ornamental character. The aim of the study was to evaluate a response of ornamental curly kale to different concentrations of NaCl. The study material was 'Scarlet' cultivar. The plants were grown in pots in a plastic tunnel. They were irrigated with NaCl solution at the following concentrations: 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mM mmol ·dm -3 . NaCl treatment resulted in a significant increase in pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of the substrate. Salt stress significantly affected plant growth and number, width and length of leaves, and the effects depended on NaCl concentration. Fifteen days after the salt supply ceased, relative chlorophyll content in leaves (SPAD) decreased due to NaCl treatment in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatments with 200, 400, and 800 mmol·dm -3 NaCl reduced stomatal conductance, and the changes were greater on the 5th day following the stress cessation than on the 15th day. Irrigation with a 200, 400, and 800 mmol·dm -3 NaCl solution negatively affected plant bonitation score. The plants treated with 50 i 100 mmol·dm -3 NaCl were not significantly different visual score from the control plants.

Soil salinity and saline groundwater are major constraints to the cultivation of crops and landscape plants in coastal regions. With the rapid industrialization and urbanization in these areas, there is an urgent need to improve the landscape to meet the increasing demand of living environments for cities and districts. The aim of this study was to propose a method to plant Sedum spectabile Boreau, a common landscape flower plant, on a very heavy coastal saline soil using drip-irrigation with saline water in region around Bohai Gulf. The salinity levels of irrigation water were 0.8, 3.1, 4.7, 6.3a, nd 7.8 dS/m, respectively. The results showed that the revegetation method, which mainly included 'ridge planting ? saline water drip-irrigation', was effective in planting Sedum spectabile Boreau for reclaiming coastal saline silt soil. An soil matric potential (SMP) higher above -5 kPa after transplanted and -10 kPa after growing season ended, and 6 mm of irrigation water can be used as indicators for Sedum spectabile Boreau drip-irrigation scheduling with 100 % survival rate when irrigated with saline water at \7.8 dS/m in initially saline soils with a gravel-sand layer after tillage. This method is combined with comprehensive utilization of the saline water, agronomic measures, collaborative repair of the soil and plants to offer new views and theoretical support for the protection and development of saline land in coastal regions.
