How Does Salt Effect Plant Growth?

by

How Does Salt Effect Plant Growth? Salinity affects production in crops, pastures and trees by interfering with nitrogen uptake, reducing growth and stopping plant reproduction. Some ions (particularly chloride) are toxic to plants and as the concentration of these ions increases, the plant is poisoned and dies. How does salt affect plant cells? If a

Does NaCl Or CaCl2 Have A Higher Osmotic Pressure? Does NaCl or CaCl2 have a higher osmotic pressure? NaCl dissociates into two ions, but calcium chloride (CaCl2) dissociates into three: one calcium ion and two chloride ions. Consequently, all else being equal, a solution of calcium chloride will have a higher osmolarity than a solution
