Salinity stunts canola growth: Impact on food production and agriculture.
The study looked at how different levels of salt in the soil affect the growth and health of four types of canola plants. They measured things like plant height, leaf area, and chlorophyll content to see how the plants were doing. The researchers found that higher salt levels in the soil led to smaller plants with less chlorophyll, which is important for photosynthesis. This shows that too much salt can harm canola plants and make it harder for them to grow.
