effects among ions ( Shannon and Grieve, 1999 ). Salinity reduces production and quality in many crops by 1) intensifying plant water stress, as a direct consequence of lower ψ S in the soil or growing substrate, 2) increasing accumulation of ions to

uptake for PO 4 -P is the highest among all nutrients. Further studies should compare the effects of CRF and LF on the nighttime PO 4 -P concentration in xylem exudates. Therefore, the differences in nutrient uptake between the CRF- and LF-treated plants
