ABSTRACT
Among abiotic stresses, salinity
is the main abiotic stress limiting crop growth and yield worldwide.
Improving agri-food production in salt-prone areas is the key to
meet the increasing food demands in near future. A greenhouse experiment
was conducted to investigate the effect of different soil conditioners,
gypsum (GYP),
citric acid (CA), ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)
and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in saline-sodic soil.
Gypsum was applied at a rate of 100% soil gypsum requirement while
other amendments were applied each at a rate of 5 g kg-1 of
soil. The results showed that EDTA treatment increased pH and
electrical conductivity (ECe) of soil while pH significantly decreased
when treated with citric acid. Soil sodium adsorption ratio (SAR)
and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) decreased in all treatments
following the order: CT > PVA >
EDTA
> CA > GYP.
Addition of CA positively affected growth parameters as compared to
other soil conditioners including plant height, number of tillers
per plant, number of spikes per plant, plant dry weight and grain
yield while EDTA
negatively affected these parameters. Addition of
CA also
significantly increased photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance,
transpiration rate and chlorophyll contents while EDTA decreased
these parameters. We conclude that increase in plant growth and
yield with CA
might be due to the effect of CA on soil properties which positively
affected plant physiological parameters.

ABSTRAK
Antara tekanan abiotik, kemasinan
ialah tekanan abiotik utama yang menghadkan pertumbuhan tanaman
dan hasil di seluruh dunia. Meningkatkan pengeluaran makanan pertanian
di kawasan terdedah garam adalah kunci untuk memenuhi permintaan
makanan yang semakin meningkat pada masa hadapan. Percubaan rumah
hijau telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan berbeza penyubur tanah,
Gipsum (GYP), asid sitrik (CA),
asid tetraasetik diamina etilena (EDTA) dan alkohol polivinil (PVA)
ke atas pertumbuhan dan hasil gandum (Triticum
aestivum L.) yang ditanam di tanah salin sodic. Gipsum diaplikasikan
pada kadar 100% di tanah keperluan Gipsum manakala pindaan lain
digunakan masing-masing pada kadar 5 g kg-1 tanah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan
bahawa rawatan EDTA meningkatkan pH dan pengaliran elektrik
(ECe) tanah manakala pH ketara berkurangan apabila dirawat dengan
asid sitrik. Nisbah penjerapan tanah sodium (SAR) dan peratus sodium boleh
tukar (ESP) menurun pada semua rawatan diikuti aturan berikut:
CT
> PVA
> EDTA > CA >
GYP.
Penambahan CA mempengaruhi parameter pertumbuhan secara positif jika
dibandingkan dengan penyubur tanah lain termasuk ketinggian tumbuhan,
bilangan tiler setiap pokok, bilangan pancang setiap pokok, berat
kering tanaman dan hasil bijirin manakala EDTA mempengaruhi parameter pertumbuhan
ini secara negatif. Penambahan CA turut meningkatkan kadar fotosintetik,
penggunaan stomatal, kadar transpirasi dan kandungan klorofil manakala
EDTA menurunkan parameter ini. Kami menyimpulkan bahawa
peningkatan dalam pertumbuhan tumbuhan dan hasil dengan CA mungkin
disebabkan oleh kesan CA terhadap sifat tanah yang mempengaruhi
parameter fisiologi pertumbuhan secara positif.
