Abstract

Water shortage in Egypt for new reclaimed areas is the most important problem to meet the rapid increase in population and crop production. This investigation was conducted in the laboratory and green house of Fayoum Regional Research Station, Fayoum governorate, Egypt to study the effect of seawater irrigation and algal extract concentrations on germination percentage, seedling growth and biochemical properties of seedling. In this study, the germination, growth and enzymatic activities of wheat seedlings subjected to two seawater levels (10% and 20%) combined with different algal concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50%) for two marine algae Ulvalactuca and Cystoseira sp. were investigated. Irrigation with fresh water gave the highest germination percentage, shoot height, root length, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids, but catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and proline of seedlings were significantly decreased to the low values. Irrigation with 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50% seawater without algal presoaking caused gradual decreases in germination percentage. Germination percentage, seedling growth, photosynthetic pigments, seedling enzymes and proline content of irrigation with10% seawater for presoaked grains were superior to those obtained from 20% seawater of presoaked grains. The optimum algal concentration for presoaking was 25% for the two algae species and Cystoseira sp. was more efficient in reducing water salinity adverse effect than Ulvalactuca.
