Physiological reaction of Brassica rapa L. var. perviridis L. H. Bailey plants cultivated on salinized soil with zeolitic tuff and peat
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Development - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue
Abstract
Our observations target the physiological response of plants with a short vegetation period like Brassica rapa var. perviridis L. H. Bailey to saline stress. The experiment uses white alkali soil amended with zeolitic tuff and peat as a substrate. There has been noticed a better behavior of the plants grown on cultivated soil amended with 15% zeolitic tuff and neutral peat. The chlorophyll content index was higher in plants grown on cultivated soil amended with 15% zeolitic tuff both when combined with neutral peat (14.0 and 30.6) or acidic peat (18.9 and 26.2) than in plants grown in soils that were amended with 20% zeolitic tuff. Regarding uncultivated soils previously, they are less favorable to plants than soils which had been included in the agricultural circuit. This proves once again that the non-use of salty lands accentuates the salinization process.
