Studies on cultivation trial of salt-tolerant New Zealand spinach in Quanzhou Bay

In this paper, effects of salinity on seed germination of New Zealand spinach were studied. The results showed that there were highest germination rate and germination index at 0 g/L and 5 g/L salinity while was only 9.0% of germination rate at 10 g/L salinity and basically lack of germination rate at 15 g/L salinity. The study on adaptability of New Zealand spinach in Quanzhou Bay showed that it showed 100% survival rate at saline-alkali soil where did not flooded by seawater, healthy growth condition, could complete whole life cycle and its relatively growth rate was 1965.28%; while it could not adapt to the areas where frequently flooded by seawater.
