Abstract
Salinity effects on yield and fruit quality of ‘Valencia’ orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) were determined in sand cultures artificially salinized with irrigation water applied twice daily. Yield reduction with increasing salinity during the 10-year study was attributed to a reduction in fruit number, not size. Salinity decreased rind thickness and delayed maturation but did not influence other fruit quality measures.Keywords
