Abstract

This study was conducted at  was conducted on a private farm located at Southeast of Sohag Governorate, during two successive seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019.Experiment were  carried out to examine the capability of two varieties different kinds, Relatively Salt- tolerant, wheat variety (Sids1) and. relatively Salt- sensitive, wheat variety (Giza 168) as a winter crop. in  the studied soil under stress condition. Use application different amelioration techniques with organic amendment,(mixture1and mixture 2) as well as Bio-organic treatments ( soil, foliar spray and soil+ foliar application) Results showed that increased fresh, dry and water content  for both  shoot and root, while increased plant length of shoot. Show that different amelioration techniques with organic amendment under tow varieties  differed  in  respectively salt  tolerant, at 80th)  in the media was, as expected, associated with a marked improvement in the Na content and Na uptake status for both shoots and roots. Comparing the studied three methods  of bioorganic amelioration (s, f and s + f ) showed that application (s + f)  significant effect  application together, compared with  the other with respect to varietal responses to salinity, reported that tolerant plants were associated with greater net transport of Na+ from roots to shoots.
