Title Of Article :
A Preliminary Study on the Effects of Different Salt (NaCI) Concentrations on the Biomass Yields and Other Some Yield Characteristics of Giant Kinggrass (Pennisetum hybridum)
Abstract :
This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different salt I concentrations (0-25-50-100 mMol NaCI) on the agronomical characteristics of giant kinggrass (Pennisetum hybridum) under in the laboratory of Pasture and Forage Crops section of Field Crops Department, Agriculture Faculty, Ege University in 2012. Traits tested in the experiment were plant height, fresh biomass and dry matter yields, root length and weight. Results indicated that increasing salinity from 25 mM level caused to decrease in plant height, fresh and dry matter yield, root length and weight.
