Spinach Plants Favor the Absorption of K<sup>+</sup> over Na<sup>+</sup> Regardless of Salinity, and May Benefit from Na<sup>+</sup> When K<sup>+</sup> is Deficient in the Soil

Two spinach (<i>Spinacea oleracea</i> L.) cultivars were evaluated for their response to deficient (0.25 mmol<sub>c</sub> L<sup>−1</sup> or 0.25 K) and sufficient (5.0 mmol<sub>c</sub> L<sup>−1</sup> or 5.0 K) potassium (K) levels combined...
