The Elemental Compositionin Aboveground and Underground Organs of Some Agropyron Species Grown in Different Salt Concentrations

Salinity, which is more common in semi-arid and arid areas, increasing every day with climate change, poor quality irrigation water, soil structure. High salt concentration restricts plant production causes productivity loss agriculture. To sustain agriculture saline soils, the determination of species resistant to salinity comes into prominence areas problems. For this reason, research was performed determine nutrients (i.e., Ca, Mg, P, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) accumulating at aboveground underground parts three different Agropyron species, namely cristatum , A. desertorum A . elongatum (Syn. Elymus elongatus) under concentrations control, 5, 10 15 EC dS m -1 NaCl ). are forage crops grown drought conditions, were determined Ca content 1.03%, 1.01%, 1.49% respectively, Mg content. 0.13%, 0.11% 0.20% respectively. As increased, Zn organ has increased compared control treatment but decreased organs. organs by 204% 98%, control. Fe wheatgrass conditions found quite high, an average 788 ppm while value as 430 The results showed that had nutrient elements both crop comparison other two levels.
