Abstract
A field study was conducted in Berjesia experiment station during the winter for two seasons of years 2007- 2008 and 2008- 2009 in a loamy sand texture soil classified as Typic quartizpsamment . The design of experiment was according to RCBD with 3 replications . The aim of experiment was to study the effect of spraying Cycocel ( Chloro Colin Chloride) and soil fertilizer with foliar NPK(Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) on the abiliity tomato plant c.v. Al- Hutoof hybrid to withstand salinity stress and then on tomato fruit productivity. The field experiment consisted of 24 treatments :the first factor was eight levels of NPK fertilizer for soil application (N200+P120+60K) Kg.ha-1 and two levels foliar NPK )N6000+ P 3000 +K6000 and 12000N6000 +P12000+ K mg l-1 ) .The second factor three of foliar CCC( i.e. o , 3000 , 6000 mg l-1 ). Results indicated significant effects of spraying CCC levels 3000 mg l-1 with 12000N6000 +P12000+ K mg l-1 was the best for decreaseing the water salinity stresses and gave best all the parameters increases were the early yield, average fruit weight; number of fruit and total yield over all another treatments for two seasons
