Ornamental horticultural production is closely associated with a high water consumption and
yet the availability of freshwater is reducing. The irrigation of ornamental plants with saline …

The salinity tolerance of plants can be improved by efficient irrigation management and salt
flushing, which require a continuous and precise knowledge of the salinity in the soil or …

This study evaluated the salinity tolerance of five populations of Salvia subg. Perovskia (S.
abrotanoides and S. yadngii). The aims of the study were to assess essential oil …

Flushing is an effective tool for controlling the concentration of salt in the growing medium,
where it affects ion uptake, water flow through the root and, consequently, the quality of the …

Dielectric sensors are useful instruments for measuring soil moisture and salinity. The soil
moisture is determined by measuring the dielectric permittivity, while bulk electrical …

Nutrient deficiencies in calcareous soils are mostly related to high soil pH whereas sulfur
supplement could facilitate nutrient element uptake by the crop plants. However, inefficient …

Increasing the salinity in the water and soil can negatively affect plant growth and
development. Mycorrhizal fungi application is one of the ways to reduce the undesirable …

The simultaneous measurements of both volumetric water content (θ) and electrical
conductivity of pore solutions (ECw) are essential for nutrient solution management within …

The salinity tolerance of plants can be improved by efficient irrigation management and salt
flushing, which require a continuous and precise knowledge of the salinity in the soil or …

Salinization of rooting media in intensive production as a consequence of the use of
irrigation water with high electrical conductivity has increased in greenhouse environments …
