Abstract
Effects of varying degree of P fertility vs mixed salinity on the growth and Ca, Mg, Na, and Cl concentrations in tomato (Lycopsersicon esculentum L. ), corn (Zea mays L. ), und sudan grass (Sorghum audannese Stapf ‘piper') were studied. Yield of all crops continuously decreased as salinity was increased. High salinity masked effects of P fertility, but less so with sudan grass than with the other two crops. Favorable responses to P were obtained with moderate levels of salinity (EC 12) for all crops. As the P level was increased, Na, Cl, and Ca concentrations of plant tissue increased in the saline treatments. This effect of P was most pronounced on Cl accumulation. High Ca suppressed K uptake in grasses and Mg uptake generally for all plants
