Summary
Abstract Background: Adequate regulation of plant nutrients may constitute a promising approach to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity on plant growth and development. Among these nutrients, nitrogen (N) can be a stand out option to improve plant adaptation to saline environment. However, plant response to N under salinity stress may vary depending upon ratio in the growth medium. Aims: The present study aimed to determine the efficiency of different ratios for improving salt resistance of tomato under alkaline conditions. Methods: Experimental plan comprised of five ratios 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100, and three salinity levels (no salinity, moderate salinity of 7 dS m−1, and high salinity of 10 dS m−1), with five replications. Plants were grown up to maturity and fruits
