| Abstract | ||
| The present experiment was conducted to assess the response of faba-bean (Vicia faba cv. Local) to sodium chloride and sodium sulfate at two levels of each ( 3&6dsm-1) and their combinations; 3dsm-1 of NaCl +3dsm-1 of Na2SO4 and 6dsm-1 of NaCl +6dsm-1 of Na2SO4. Five weeks old plants were subjected to salt treatments for periods of 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Plant dry matter of shoot and roots, soluble protein, chlorophyll content, ions content and proline accumulation were determined. All salt treatments caused significant reduction in all parameters studied. Na2SO4 treatments were more detrimental than NaCl treatments. Also, combination of NaCl + Na2SO4 at both concentrations were more effective than single salt treatments. Lengthen the duration of exposing plants to salinity resulted in more growth reduction. Total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium content were reduced significantly by all salt treatments. However, sodium content was increased at all salinity levels used. As proline accumulation increased due to different salt treatments, relative water content of plant tissue was decreased in parallel way. From these results, it is suggested that all salinity levels used have adversely effect on faba-bean growth and ions accumulation. | ||
