Abstract
Salinity stress is one of the main agricultural problems of the arid and semi-arid areas in production of the agricultural products. In such circumstances, in addition to imposing with certain management principals, proper nutrition has an important role in improving plant conditions. In order to investigate the effect of salinity and Zn levels on the yield of shoots, grain, and the concentration of Zn in grain and shoots of wheat (Trictium aestivum), the experiment was carried out with three levels of salinity (2.7, 6.4, 10.2 dS.m) as well as four levels of Zn (0, 10, 20 mg Zn.kg soil and foliar application) and two wheat cultivars (Ghods and Atrak) in the form of factorial and completely randomized design with three replications and under the greenhouse conditions during a 120-day growth period. The results of the investigations showed that the salinity led to a decrease in all of the parameters of the two wheat cultivars. Moreover, the application of Zn with the concentration of 20 mg.kg soil resulted in an increase in the yield of shoots and grain. As the application of Zn increases, the concentration of Zn in the shoots and grain increased significantly. Grain protein was reduced salinity, while the consumption of grain protein was increased. The results suggested that adding Zn in the conditions of low to medium salinity can improve the growth and finally the wheat yield through decreasing the effects of salinity.
