Abstract:
The objective of the research is to evaluate the interactive effects of salinity and potassium on some physiomorphologique traits. The experiment was conducted during the development of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L.)
var: merveille de kelvedon, the test was conducted in a randomized complete block (split plot) with three levels of NaCl (S0: 0, S1: 50, S2: 150) mMol, and two levels of potassium salt : potassium nitrate (KNO3) (N1: 20, N2: 40) mMol, and potassium acetate (CH3COOK) (A1: 20, A2: 40) mMol with four replicates grown in pots under controlled conditions, the work was executed on 48 expérimentales units.
The results are shown that treatment salts decreased significantly pigment chlorophyll (chla, Chlb, Chla+b), leaf area (Sf), the number of nodules (Nd), root length and stem (Lt, Lr) and the dry weight of shoots and roots (PSf, PSr) with increasing levels of salinity, the content of potassium (K+) and the selectivity coefficient (K+ / Na+) of leaves and roots, and the content of total nitrogen (NT) in the leaves is reduced with a high salinity concentration compared to the control , whereas the content of proline (Pro) and glucose (Glu) in the leaves and the content of sodium (Na+) in the leaves and roots have been accumulated
considerably when salinity levels are increased.
The application of the two potassium salts in the soil potassium nitrate (KNO3) or potassium acetate (CH3COOK)) is removed deleterious effects of salinity. In comparing these two potassium salts we result, the level of potassium acétate (CH3COOK) (A2) increased the number of nodules (Nd), total nitrogen (NT) in the leaves and the potassium content (K+) in the shoots and roots , but potassium nitrate (KNO3) (N2) decreased the number of nodules (Nd)
compared to the other treatment one, we can conclude that the potassium acétate (CH3COOK) is a good fertilizer than potassium nitrate (KNO3) (CH3COOK) in saline conditions.
