| Abstract | ||||
| To study the effect of soaking of wheat grains in solutions of different materials groups on plant dry matter yield and mineral composition under irrigation with saline water. a pot experiment was conducted. The groups included 4 growth regulators. 3 amino acids, 2 chloride solutions, 2 potassium solutions. 4 sui hates of micronutrient solutions end distilled water as a control in addition (0 not soa ed grain treatment. Diluted sea water of 0.52% lotal soluble salts was used in irrigales pot after till wheal maturity 14 days of planting. Statistically analyzed data revealed that wheat plants responded markedly to soaking treatments at different levels r ached to relative increases of 140 and 120% of soaking in distilled water treatment or grains and straw yietds respectively. Nitrogen and micronutrients uptake by grains nd straw was increased by using solution soaking over dry planted grains or those soaked in distilled water. Phosphorus and potassium uptake produced increases in some treatments and reductions in others. It could be concluded that soaking pretreatment for germinated grains was usefut as a general under these conditions where using diluted sea water is the obligatory irrigation water. | ||||
