Testing Crops for Salinity Tolerance - USDA ARS

Proc. Workshop on Adaptation of Plants to Soil Stresses. p. : Maranville, , Duncan, Yohe. (eds.)INTSORMIL. Pub. No. 94-2, Univ of Ne, Lincoln, NE, August Crops for Salinity ToleranceE. V. Salinity Laboratory, usda -ARSR iverside, CAABSTRACTThe capability of Crops to grow on saline soils varies among species and dependson the concentration of salts present in the rootzone and on various environmentaland cultural conditions. Information on the relative Tolerance of different Crops isessential to the successfulmanagement of salt-affected agricultural lands andwaters. Results from over 50 years of research have produced salt Tolerance datathat relate yield reductions of over 90 different Crops to soil Salinity . These dataare presented in tabular form and give threshold Salinity values and percent yieldreductions expected at salinities exceeding the threshold.
