Effect of diluted seawater irrigation and exogenous proline treatments on growth, chemical composition and anatomical characteristics of Conocarpus erectus L. [electronic resource].

Includes references.

The objectives of this investigation were to study the effect of diluted seawater irrigation (0, 10, IS, 30 and 50%) on growth, chemical composition and anatomical structure of buttonwood plant (Conoearpus ereetus 1.). In addition, trying to counteract the adverse effect of seawater salinity by foliar application of exogenous proline (0.5 and 1%). The results showed that low levels of diluted seawater improved the growth, aliio proline treatments have significant effect on growth. The treatment of 30% seawater increased N, P and Fe contents in aerial parts when compared with low and high seawater levels, but 10% seawater treatment increased K level.
