| Abstract: | This work aimed to determine the interaction iron-NaCl effect on germination characteristics (germination percent, germination rate, germination capacity, germination stress index, dry matter stress index, salinity tolerance index and seed vigor) of four varieties bean’s plant Vicia faba L. The measurement was designed in the form of splitting segments with four replicates by treating each variety with four NaCl concentration (0, 50, 150, 200 mmol/L), In addition, the seeds were soaked in iron sulfate solution 0.6 μmol/L. The results showed that the salinity had a significant negative effect on the parameters studied during the germination phases and depended on the different salinity levels compared to the control. The iron element appeared a positive effect on these parameters. In addition, the salinity resistance in the presence of iron element of the four varieties in the following order; broad, Aguadulce then Malti and Histal with the same order. Moreover, the two parameters germination stress index and salinity tolerance index showed the best results in salinity resistance in the presence of iron element on the rest of the studied parameters. |
