Vegetative growth and some leaf physiological characteristics of drip irrigated Valencia
orange trees with saline irrigation water. In relation to K-silicate, Nile Fertile and Magnetic Iron as
anti-salt stress substances were investigated during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 experimental seasons.
Results revealed that sprayed trees with K-silicate or Nile Fertile or Magnetic Iron or triple treated
trees were highly responded as most of vegetative growth salinity symptom were disappeared as well
as leaf physiological characteristics. The best results in this regard were obtained when the trees were
received K-silicate at 10ml/L + Nile Fertile at 500 g/tree + Magnetic Iron at 300 g/tree as such
treatments enhanced vegetative growth and leaf physiological characteristics as well as minimized leaf osmotic pressure.
