Effect
Increased salt stress tolerance
Stressal treated Kaki, cv. Rojo Brillante, grown in salt stress conditions had a higher salt soil content and at the same time 27 % less chlorides in the leaves (less uptake) resulted in less leaf necrosis compared to the untreated control. There was no significant effect on the growth and yield
