A non-sodic, non-saline sandy loam soil was salinized to anion-cation ratios similar to those naturally occurring in Iraq and California. The interactions of saline soils (conductivities 4, 8, 12 and 16 mmhos/cm) with a moderately salt-tolerant plant (Lycopersicon esculentum 'Marimond') and a plant parasitic nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) were investigated. Plant parasitic nematodes were shown to be an important modifying influence within the plant environment, either accentuating or ameliorating salinity stress effects.
