Abstract
Management of saline soils is the main concern of many specialists in order to mitigate or reduce the salinity problems on the plant for increases its ability to produce crops. Thus, a field experiment was carried out during the winter season of 2014/2015, on a sandy loam soil at a newly reclaimed area of Sahl El-Tina, Galbana Village No.7, North Sinai, Egypt., to evaluate some of agricultural practices proposed i.e. agricultural system (raised beds or furrow row system) and Zn SO4 foliar application on alleviate salinity stress and faba bean yield and yield components.The results can be summarized as follows ; the raised bed system contributed in good manage of salt accumulation, where the soluble salts were pushed from the root zone of bed shoulder towards bed middle as a result of dawn and lateral irrigation movements. Thus, the gradually decreasing in soil salinity with the consecutive irrigations had significantly positive effect on plant heights, number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, straw yield, seed yield, weight of 100 grains and protein contents (%) in seeds of faba bean plants under raised bed system compared to furrow row system. In addition to, the amounts of macronutrients uptake by plant and its chlorophyll content were significantly increased with using raised bed system. In contrast, the prolien content of faba bean plant was decreased with fading the salinity stress problems under this condition. Furthermore, Zn SO4 foliar application treatments gave the same trend particularly with 200 mg L-1 as individual treatment, except number of branches/plant and protein contents (%). This positive effect was higher clearly with the interaction between raised beds system and 200 mg L-1 (Zn SO4) treatment.
