| Abstract: | Abstract BA 29 and EMA (Cydonia oblonga L.) plants were grown in a 1:1 sand:perlite mixture and irrigated with nutrient solutions containing two B concentrations (0.025 and 0.2 mM) combined with two salinity (electrical conductivity, EC) levels (0.75 and 4 dS-m-1). The lowest growth of plants was recorded when 0.2 mM B was combined with 4 dS-m-1 in the nutrient solution. As salinity (EC) level increased from 0.75 to 4 dS-m-1, P, Ca and Fe concentrations of leaves decreased. The potassium concentration of leaves of both rootstocks increased, as salinity levels (induced by KCl) increased. The two quince genotypes respond differently for the same treatments, indicating a genotypic effect. |
