Effect of different levels of NaCl and KCl on growth and some biological indexes of wheat plant.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of different levels (0, 15, 30 and 60 mM) of NaCl and KCl salt on seedling growth and some biological indexes of wheat. Shoot height, stem diameter, leaves number of plant, fresh weight of shoot and dry matter weight index were investigated. The results showed that biological index of wheat decreased with increasing salt in comparison to control. The adverse affect of NaCl on wheat plant was obtained higher than that of KCl. This should carefully be considered if wheat is grown under saline soil condition.
