Efficiency of salicylic acid on germination and growth of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.)‎

Abstract EN

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of Salicylic acid ith 4 levels (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L and salinity stress by Nacl with4 levels (0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 M.

) on germination percent, Vigor, germination speed, Plumule Length, Radicle Length, seedling wet and dry weight and the salinity resistance index in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.

).

The experiment dealt with the effect of using the growth regulator "Salicylic acid" (SA) at concentrations: 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L under four levels of salinity: (0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 Molar (M)).

of NaCl, the study showed that the Salinity reduced the germination and growth of chickpea seedlings with the increase in the intensity of the salinity level until it reached 0.0 at the 0.2 and 0.3 M.

Salicylic acid reduced the damage caused by salinity, and increased all study parameters under salinity levels, the highest percentage of germination (97.3 and 92.6% ) was observed when the concentrations of 100 and 150 mg/L of Salicylic acid.

The salinity resistance index STI showed a significant decrease in this indicator with an increase in the salinity intensity from 1.00 at the level of 0.0 molar NaCl to 0.00 at the level of 0.3 molar The experiment was conducted to study the effect of Salicylic acid ith 4 levels (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L and salinity stress by Nacl with4 levels (0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 M.
