| Summary: | <p class="MsoNormal">The behaviour of certain plants in young stage concerning their resistance to soil salinity was measured. The plants involved were the following: <em>Secale cereale, Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum vulgare, Medicago sativa, Melilotus officinalis, Onobrychis viciaefolia, Cicer arietinum, Helianthus annuus, Carthamus tinctorius</em> and <em>Beta vulgaris</em>. The measurements were done in vegetation pots on two salty soils: <em>solonchak</em> containing chlorides and carbonates (pH 7,6) and 3,16% salinity (1,76 % chlorides) at depth of 0-20 cm; <em>solonetz</em> with chlorides and carbonates having, at depth of 0-15 cm, a water pH of 7,5 and 0,53% salinity and at 30-40 cm a 1,26% salinity. Of the plants studied the highest tolerance to salinity, as early as germination stage, was proved by <em>Hordeum vulgare</em>, followed by <em>Beta vulgaris</em> and <em>Carthamus tinctorius</em>. With some plants, such as <em>Helianthus annuus</em> and <em>Cicer arietinum</em> there had been noticed an increased resistance of seedling to salinity as compared with the germination stage.</p> |
