Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted to study the effect of pre-sowing seed soaking with 0.4% potassium humate solution (80% organic substances and 12% K 2 O), 0.05% Caboron solution (65% Ca, 12% K 2 O and 1.5% B), 0.2% Rootmost solution (0.008% cytokinins, 0.001 GA 3 and 0.1% IAA) and control (Tap water) on growth, yield and some biochemical parameters. All treated seeds were sown in saline soil (10 dSm -1) and irrigated with saline water (8-6 dSm -1). Pre-treatments with various soaking agents significantly stimulated growth and root yield attributes in compared to hydro-soaking (control treatment). This enhancement was associated with significant increases in essential elements, total soluble sugars and concomitant with great reduction in proline concentration.
