Table 3. Effects of low pH on Reducing sugar, Sucrose and Starch content in ginger leaves under salt stress.

DW stands for dry weight. T1 (pH 6, 0 salinity), T2 (pH 4, 0 salinity), T3 (pH 6, 100 mmol L⁻¹ salinity) and T4 (pH 4, 100 mmol L⁻¹ salinity) Different small letters in a column of the same treatment days indicate significance at the 5% level.

T2	40.51 ± 1.15b	12.31 ± 0.35b	319.44 ± 2.71a
