  • Note: Results are expressed as the percentage concentration of salt spray required to reach the SC50. All values mean of 10 trees; five leaves per tree. Different letters represent significant differences between treatments at the 95% confidence level. SD = Standard Deviation, CV = Coefficient of Variation.
