Abstract
The experiment was carried out using plastic pots during the growing season 2019-2020 to find out the effect of NaCl ( 0, 50, and 100) mM and seeds soaking with a growth regulator (kinetin) at a concentration of 0, 50, and 100 mg.L-1of faba bean (Vicia faba L. )plants and their interactions on some indicators of growth and yield. The experiment included three replications and was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that the effect of NaCl, especially at 100 mM, was significantly reduced in plant height rates, the number of branches, shoot dry weight, number of pods, pod length, and weight, the average weight of 100 seeds, chlorophyll content, protein percentage, Stress Tolerance Index, and Relative Water Content by 15.02%,50.00%,32.81%,44.50%,28.10%, 49.95%,6.83%, 16,82%, 26.36%, 32.82%, and 10.58% compared with control respectively. and that seeds soaking with kinetin, especially at 100 mg.L-1 led to a significant increase in the indicators studied, by 11.87%, 89.00%,81.50%, 57.51%, 61.97%, 79.55%, 7.23% 17.66%, 20.78%, 81.51%, and 6.88% respectively, The results also showed a significant effect of the interaction between the study workers on all the studied traits.
