Abstract
The effects of various amending materials on seed germination in saline environment, and the related mechanism were studied. The seed germination tests were considered as bioassay for treatment efficiency under salinity stress. The tests were carried out in petri dishes, at 25°C in the dark for 5 days. Generally organic materials more efficiently reduced the toxic effects of the salt than inorganic materials did. Of organic materials, farm yard manure of 3-4 months decomposition period, and of inorganic materials, Kanuma soil were the most effective ones. The effective materials deactivated considerable amount of ion (Na) through ion holding mechanism.
