abstract soil salinity in huge parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is a factor limiting growth of plant and other organisms. earthworm can be considered as an indicator of soil quality in agroecosystems, because of a positive correlation between earthworm abundance and the productivity of cropped plants. the main objective of this study was to realize the interaction b...

  Background: Although borage ( Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity. For this reason, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity .  Objective: Since germination and early growth stage is one of the most critical phases of plant life under salinity condition this experiment was conducte...

ABSTRACT Plant parasitic nematodes cause severe agricultural damage in Northeast Brazil. Additionally, soil salinization, especially the semiarid region of Northeast, is another factor that limits crop yield. The study evaluated motility Meloidogyne enterolobii and Pratylenchus coffeae, vertical migration P. coffeae under saline conditions. Motility was assessed by submitting juveniles second s...
