Table 1 Photosynsthis (P_n, μmol m^− 2 s^− 1), leaf stomatal conductance (g_s, mol m^− 2 s^− 1), intercellular to ambient CO₂ concentration ratio (C_i / C_a) and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE) (μmol CO₂ mol^− 1 H₂O) in hot pepper leaves subjected to varying levels of irrigation water salinity (EC_iw, dS m^− 1) and two leaching fractions (LF). The gas exchange parameters were measured with a fixed PPFD level of 1200 μmol m^− 2 s^− 1 (under light saturate condition). The values for each treatment were the averages of three measurements (23, 39 and 76 days after transplanting) with three to six replications for each measurement
