Effect of salinity originated from Urmia lake water on some morpho-physiological traits in Zea mays L.

ABSTRACT: Effect of different levels of water for the Lake urmia on some morphological and physiological traits of maize in greenhouse conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with 7 replications. 4 levels of salinity in the soil for this study included (zero, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg mose) and two types of irrigation water (Ordinary water and lake Urmia water with a salinity of 2 ds) was used. The results showed that soil salinity effects on leaf number and stem length were significant. Effect of salt concentration in water on stem length, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll was significant. The interaction between salt water and a home on stem diameter, stem weight and length Tasl, leaf length, leaf width and leaf weight, and soluble sugar were significant. Mean comparisons showed that most compounds treated stem diameter, stem weight, leaf length, leaf width, leaf weight, length Tasl and sugar solution to the control (non-saline soil and water) and with increasing concentration of salts in the soil of their was reduced and the salinity level of 20 mg m mouse to reach the minimum amount.
