Effect of saline irrigation on <i>Tetragonia tetragonioides</i> (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions
The obtained results indicate that T. tetragonioides can be successfully cultivated in moderately saline soils (EC < 20 dS m<sup>-1</sup>), providing dual benefits: production of mineral-enriched edible biomass and partial remediation of salt-affected soils. This dual role highlights its potential as a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture in marginal saline environments. © 2025 The Author(s).
