TLDR
Major differences in the negative slopes of the correlation lines indicate that decreases in plant water uptake, from 3.5 to 5% per dS m −1 , are cultivar-specific and cannot be generalised.About:

Biological control of Rhizoctonia solani in tomatoes with Trichoderma harzianum mutants
J. Montealegre,Luis Valderrama,Soledad Sánchez,Rodrigo F. Herrera,Ximena Besoain,Luz M. Pérez +5 more
TL;DR: Biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani in tomatoes cultivated under greenhouse and field conditions was analyzed using the Trichoderma harzianum mutants Th650-NG7, Th11A80.1, Th 12A40.1 and Th12A10.1 to reduce mortality and reduce the canker level caused by R. solani.

Hydroponics, Aeroponic and Aquaponic as Compared with Conventional Farming
TL;DR: The main advantage of those modern cultivation systems is the conservation of water and less or no use of agrichemicals which are dangerous to the human body when applying and especially when eating in the food as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overcoming Salinity Barriers to Crop Production Using Traditional Methods
TL;DR: It can be concluded from the present review that the traditional approaches provide promising means for alleviating the adverse effects of salinity on agricultural crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vapour pressure deficit control in relation to water transport and water productivity in greenhouse tomato production during summer
TL;DR: Water transport in combination with plant productivity was examined in tomato plants grown under contrasting VPD gradients, finding that net water saving can be increased by enabling greater planting densities and improving the evaporative efficiency of the mechanical system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of salinity stress on growth, yield, fruit quality and water use efficiency of tomato under hydroponics system
TL;DR: In this article, a tomato leaf, shoot height and stem diameter were reduced under salinity stress caused by photosynthesis reduction, tissues expansion reduction and cell divided inhibition, and a 7.2% yield reduction per unit increase in salinity.

Salt tolerance of plants
TL;DR: In this article, the salt-tolerance data as well as tolerance limits for boron, chloride, and sodium are presented for woody crops, which are also influenced by specific salt constituents.

Salinisation of land and water resources: human causes, extent, management and case studies
TL;DR: The salinity problems in selected countries are discussed in this article, where the authors present some of the institutions involved in salinity investigation and salinity management options and other options and aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity
TL;DR: The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato and salinity
TL;DR: The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of breeding salt-tolerant tomatoes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato plant-water uptake and plant-water relationships under saline growth conditions.
TL;DR: Growing seedlings in seedbeds with saline media could be of interest to better tolerate further salty conditions in the field or greenhouse and in relation to salt tolerance.
