In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s
new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research
outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then
the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a
temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to assess whether KOH applied as a foliar spray could mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress on plant growth and yield of sunflower plants. For this purpose, KOH @ 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% was applied as a foliar spray to salt stressed and non-stressed sunflower plants. Foliar spray of KOH increased the growth and yield under non-stress and salt stressed conditions. Increasing levels of KOH increased leaf K+. Although foliarly applied KOH had growth promoting effects, it did not change nutrient status except leaf K. Thus, foliar application of K as KOH improved growth and yield of sunflower plants by improving K+/Na+ ratio.
