Note: W1, W2 and W3 represent the three irrigation quotas of 280, 320 and 360 mm respectively, F, S1 and S2 represent the three water salinities of 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 dS/m. The values of Yt and Ym are the means of three replications. For Yt or Ym, means followed by the same letters (a, b, c, d, e, f) are not significantly different at the 5% level according to Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. DAT represent days after transplant.
