Summary

Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were grown in field plots with the objective of comparing the effect of some soil amendments on sodium uptake and translocation at three levels of salinity in the soil.

Gypsum and wheat straw mulch treatments reduced the translocation of sodium from the roots to the stems and leaves at the higher external sodium level. Incorporation of animal manure with the soil had little effect on translocation at the higher level but may have promoted sodium translocation to the stems at the lower level.

Plant growth and survival were negatively correlated with the sodium content in the plant, particularly with that of the stems.
