The effect of salt stress on growth parameters of Lavandula officinalis

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 9

Abstract

Salinity either of soil or of irrigation water causes disturbance in plant growth and nutrient balance and reduces crop yields. The effects of NaCl salinity and/or calcium or potassium level on the plant growth were investigated in Lavandula officinalis. Plants were supplied with nutrient solutions containing 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mmol/l of NaCl, KCl and CaCl2. The results showed that stress treatment significantly influenced on growth parameters of L.officinalis. Application of levels CaCl2 significantly produced the highest shoot height, chlorophyll content and dry weight.
