Kaolin improves salinity tolerance, water use efficiency and quality of tomato

Calcium particle films promote a photoprotection on sweet potato crops and increase its productivity

“…An inverse relation between luminosity and leaf temperature was noted, where increases in L* values reduced leaf temperature. This result indicates a leaf photoprotection mechanism under particle films application (Kok and Bal 2018), which was already reported in other crops such as Coffea canephora (Silva et al 2019c), Solanum lycopersicum (Boari et al 2016;Silva et al 2019b), Vitis vinı´fera (Brillante et al 2016), Vitis labrusca (Conde et al 2016;Silva et al 2019a), Capsicum annum (Ć osić et al 2018), and Juglans regia (Gharaghani et al 2018). Sweet potato yield (Ipomoea batatas L.) after applying calcium particle films (5%, 10%, and 15% of CaO).…”

Effect of Different Salinity Level on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Production under Climate Change Condition in Bangladesh

“…Soil salinity has a detrimental effect on the soil chemical and physical properties, and this hinders plant growth and production [15][16] in a measure that depends on the salt tolerance of each crop. Soluble salts lower the osmotic potential of the soil water, thus lower leaf water potential is required to sustain transpiration [17].…”

Physiological parameters of cowpea treated with CaO-based particle film and subjected to water restriction

“…agropec. bras., Brasília, v.54, e00033, 2019 DOI: 10.1590/S1678-3921.pab2019.v54.00033 Boari et al, 2016). Films based on CaO and kaolin directly influence the photosynthetic assimilation of CO 2 and the water status of plants (Shellie & King, 2013), which makes the particle film an efficient antiperspirant (El-Khawaga, 2013).…”
