Potassium and irrigation water salinity on the formation of sour passion fruit seedlings

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Potassium does not attenuate the deleterious effects of salt stress on the formation of seedlings of sour passion fruit. Water salinity increases the percentage of cell membrane damage in sour passion fruit seedlings. Salt stress inhibits growth of sour passion fruit but water with up to 3.5 dS m-1 can be used for formation of its seedlings.
