“…Field trials (Ahmad & Abdullah, 1979: Barnes & Peele, 1958: Bernstein & Ayers, 1951: Bouaziz, 1980: Levy, 1992: Paliwal & Yadav, 1980 and outdoor pot trials (Levy et al, 1988) were primarily focussed on NaCI (or mixed salt) effects on tuber yields. Greenhouse pot trials were used to examine genotype salinity tolerance under NaC1 or mixed sodium salt irrigation solutions and were based on either tuber yield (Bruns & Caesar, 1990, relative reduction of foliage dry weight (Bilski et al, 1988) or haulm fresh weight (Naik & Widholm, 1993) but not yield.…”
