Abstract:
In hydroponically grown stock plants, growth was reduced by 7 d stress treatments with NaCl at concentrations of 2, 4 or 6 g l^-1. The uptake of other ions (except Mg) was unaffected. Rooting of cuttings from the stressed plants was depressed, with a 45% decrease in root numbers, almost 70% in root length and 52% for root weights. This drastic effect on the rooting was overcome after two weeks of postpropagation growth, when the cuttings had recovered, except for those from the highest salt stress treatment.
