Abstract
Irrigation water salinization is a serious problem affecting seedling
growth at the planting circle’s first step. Sown seeds of leafy form peas (Pisum
sativum L.) were exposed to saline water once at first watering via
irrigation with (0; 0.5; 1; 2; 4 and 8 g/L NaCl) salt solutions. Seedling
growth parameters as; the seedling emergence rate, mean emergence day, root
length, fresh root weight, dry root weight, shoot length, fresh shoot weight,
dry shoot weight, fresh seedling weight, dry seedling weight, and root/shoot
ratio (in terms of; length/length, fresh weight/fresh weight, and dry
weight/dry weight) were calculated and evaluated in Tukey Test after analysis
of variance. At the end of the two weeks, the evaluated data indicated that the
used plant type negatively affected in most parameters related to length, fresh
weight, and root/shoot ratio only in the highest dose (8 g/L) of the NaCl
treatment. Although there were no differences between salt treatments in
seedling emergence rate, the data were between 16.7-50%. In addition, the
plants treated with a certain amount of salt (1, and 2 g/L NaCl) showed the
best growth visually. Beside the parameters, disease-like symptoms were
evaluated, and the data showed that although no statistical differences were
found, the certain amount of (0.5; 1, and 2 g/L NaCl) salt stress treated seeds
showed lesser damages and disorders.
