- Abstract
Objective: Seawater leakage in Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar- East Libya's coastal areas is one of the most biggest obstacles to farmers obtaining a highly productive crop. As a result, the experiment was conducted in a laboratory to find out the impact of irrigation with seawater on the salt tolerance of Acsad Bread wheat genotypes. Method: Ten genotypes (1398, 1492, 1514, 1522, 1524, 1536, 1538, 1544, 1550, and 1562), obtained from the Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands Acsad, were used in the study, 10 seeds of each genotype with three repetitions were germinated under four seawater concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40%). Results: The results showed that there were highly significant (P = 0.05) differences in the genotypes' response to all salinity concentrations, Which led to decreasing germination percentage, delaying the average germination time, and decreasing radical/plumule length and seedling fresh/dry weight compared with a control. As noted genotypes (1524, 1522 and 1514) were able to germinate in all concentrations of seawater, and gave the best average for all the studied traits. Also, the study indicated that a concentration of seawater of 40% was the most toxic for all wheat genotypes. The results of this study categorize the wheat genotypes into tolerant genotypes (1524, 1522 and 1514), moderate tolerant (1492, 1536), and sensitive (1398, 1538, 1544, 1550 and 1562). Conclusion: The results concluded that the possibility of wheat crops agriculture into tolerant in Libyan coastal locations in which seawater concentration did not exceed 30%.
