Abstract
Experiment was conducted under glasshouse conditions to study the effect of soils containing either powder chard leaves a lone or in combination with NaCl on growth and some physiological effects'of two wheat cultivars (Veez and US 30), The results showed that the control treatment led to significant increase in plant growth concentrations of chlorophyll and carbohydrates, releative water content of leaves, cellular membrane stability as well as ionic composition improvement of the two cultivars in comparison with the plants grown in soil containing either 2% powder chard leave:; of 2% NaCl alone. However, soils containing combination of 2% powder chard leaves and 2% NaCl led to greater reduction in the plant growth and more decline in the concentrations of chlorophyll and carbohydrates, relative water content cellular membrane stability, Ca2+ and Mg2+ accumulation in the shoot and root system where there was a significant increase in and Cl" accumulation especialy in vee/ cultivar. الخلاصة
