LinkedInSodium chloride damage on raspberry
A few pictures here for the library on sodium chloride damage on raspberry. Leave tissue concentration of sodium is over 250 ppm and chloride over 20,000 ppm (that's 2% of total dry tissue!). Interestingly accumulation of the micronutrients zinc and copper in these plants is also notably higher than what would be normal for raspberry.
Sodium chloride damage in raspberry. Note heavily burned leaf margins, to the extent that very little green remains.
Entire cane affected by sodium chloride. Appearance of some green leaves on some laterals tells us that this plant can yet recover.
