Abstract

Salinity either of soil or of irrigation water causes restriction in growth, yield, and quality of several vegetable crops such as eggplant. To alleviate the adverse effect of salt stress on the growth and fruit yield of eggplant, a pot experiment was conducted at the Experimental Station Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, during two successive summer seasons (2011 and 2012). The experiment included nine treatments which were the combination of three salinity levels of irrigation solutions (320, 3200, and 4800 ppm sodium chloride), and three levels of seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract levels from Acadian Sea plants Limited, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada(0, 2.5, and 5.0 cm3 L−1).
