Rootstock Effect on the Tolerance of cv. Hass Avocado Plants to Nacl Stress

The avocado tree (Persea americana Mill.) is one of the species most sensitive to salinity. Since the root system of this species is particularly affected by this type of stress, it is crucial to find a rootstock that is tolerant to saline water irrigation. Plant material from the cv. Hass was graft...
