Mean comparison of measured nutrient acquisition (A: sodium (Na+); B: potassium (K+); C: potassium / sodium ratio (K+/Na+); D: calcium (Ca2+); E: magnesium (Mg2+); F: calcium/magnesium ratio (Ca2+/Mg2+)) during two harvests under control treatment (non-saline) and salinity treatment within different growing systems. The cropping modes investigated were monoculture of M. sativa (MMs), monoculture of H. marinum (MHm), and parallel intercropping (PI), and mixed cropping (MC). Means followed by the same letter(s) or common letters are not significantly different among the cultivation modes for each parameter according to Duncan test at 5%
