The use of saline water in the production of vegetables is one of the main challenges for producers, since salt stress causes a decrease in crop production and yield. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the growth of arugula plants under irrigation water salinity levels. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with treatments being five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water...
