Title Of Article :
The effects of different irrigation water salinity levels on germination and early seedling development of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
Abstract :
In the the present study, the effects of different irrigation water salinity levels (0.38 (control), 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 dS m-1) on germination speed, germination rate, shoot and root lengths, shoot wet anddry weights, root wet and dry weights of flax seed were investigated. The germination speed,germination rate and salt tolerance index changed between 52.2-76.0 %, 66.5-97.0 % and 39.0-112.0 %,respectively. All the development parameters attained the best values in germination medium with 2 dSm-1 salinity. However, the salinity levels higher than 2 dSm-1 had negative effect on seed germinationand early seedling development parameters. When all of the parameters were taken into consideration itwas noted that irrigation water with up to 2 dS m-1 salinity can be used for flax seed germination andearly seedling development in arid and semi-arid regions.
