Abstract
One year old ‘Baccara’ roses budded on Rosa chinensis cv. ‘Major’ were planted in large containers and irrigated for 90 days with water containing various salinity levels (ca. 0.4 to 7.8 EC × 103). Salinization was obtained by either chloride or nitrate salts. Irrigation with water containing chlorides was more detrimental than with water containing nitrates at the same level of salinity. Stem and leaf growth and water uptake decreased with increasing soil salinity. A slight decrease was noticed even at 2.0 mmhos/cm, containing chlorides, the damage increasing with time, indicating a cumulative effect of soil salinity even at low salinity level.Keywords
