Salinity tolerance in Cucumis sativus seedling: the role of pistachio wood vinegar on the improvement of the vigor seedling
Abstract
Background
Soil
salinity
is
a
major
environmental
concern
that
affects
the
production
of
salt-sensitive
crops
such
as
cucumbers
by
limiting
their
growth
and
development.
Due
to
its
beneficial
effects
on
plants,
wood

while
studies
show
it
can
also
protect

A
