Abstract

This study, was carried out to determine the effect of different salt concentrations on plant growth by applying different salt concentrations to the plant Pop 11 (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). The study was conducted as a pot trial under greenhouse conditions at the Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute in 2022. Doses of 0, 60, 120, 180, 240 mM NaCl were applied to the pot experiment, which was set up with 4 replications according to the randomized plot design. In this research, plant height (cm), fresh plant weight (g), dry plant weight (g), leaf blade width (cm), leaf blade length (cm), stem diameter (mm), leaf relative water content (%), Lipid peroxidation (nmol g-1 FW), proline amount (µmol g-1 FW) and root length (cm) values were examined. When the examined results are evaluated; It was concluded that low doses of Na+ and Cl- ions (0 and 60 mM) may be beneficial to the plant, while increased doses may have negative effects. Moreover, in addition to considering the selected growth parameters of the reed ball plant, it was observed that the nutrient element content (Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2 and Cl-) in the green parts of the plant also changed significantly. According to the correlation between Na and Cl and plant parameters, there is a negative significance (r:) between NaCl and plant length (BU), fresh plant weight (YBA), dry plant weight (KBA), leaf blade width (YAE) and pot root length (SKU). -0.78, 0.91, 0.91, 0.78 and 0.96) and a positive significant (r: 0.94) relationship was determined between the amount of proline.
