✦ Synopsis

The yield of tomatoes for processing (Lycopersicon esculentum var. VF145 B. 7879) grown in artificially salinized plots, was reduced by 10% for every 1.5 mmhos/cm increase in ECe above 2.0 mmhos/cm. Yield reduction was the same for equal mean soil salinities regardless of leaching and the rate of salt accumulation in the soil. Total soluble solids content increased with increasing salinity to offset, to a large extent, the yield reduction. Reduction in water uptake, as a result of an increase in soil salinity was directly related to fruit yield reduction, but not to stover yield which was not affected by salinity. The salt tolerance during germination was similar to subsequent growth in the salinity range of this experiment.

## ABSTRACT The effects of saline and non‐saline irrigation water on the growth, plant water uptake, water content and yield of tomato (__Solanum esculentum__ Mill. cv Floradade) were evaluated using drip and furrow irrigation. At all growth stages, leaf area and plant dry weight (biomass) were hig

The relation between decomposition rates; and soil salinity and moisture conditions in tidal marshes of the Westerschelde estuary was investigated. In the first part of the study, these soil factors were experimentally manipulated in field plots which were either screened from rainwater or which rec
