摘要
A decrease in whole plant dry weight was observed when Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC. was treated with saline irrigation water for 24 days which was partially alleviated by the addition of 0.47 m M SiO2 to the irrigation water. The plants treated with high salinity and SiO2 showed a greater distribution of dry material to the leaves at the expense of the stems and roots compared to control plants. The possible use of SiO2 to grow plants may be beneficial in areas of high soil salinities. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
