Abstract:To determine the effects of irrigation water salinity on seed germination and
seedling development of two rice cultivars, irrigation waters with low SAR
(below 3) were prepared in different salinity levels (control [0.5], 2, 4,
8, 12, 16, and 20 dS m-1) from different salinity sources (NaCl, MgS04, and
CaCl2 salts). The average germination rate was decreased for the cv. Baldo
20.19%, while for cv. Osmanc?k - 97 it was 26.73%. The average of the single
seedling dry weight of cv. Baldo was 0.26… Show more
