EFFECT OF SALINITY ON BIOMASS PRODUCTION AND ACTIVITIES OF SOME KEY ENZYMATIC ANTIOXIDANTS IN KOCHIA (KOCHIA SCOPARIA)
Abstract
Soil salinity is a major constraint to food production due to its negative impact on crop yield. Kochia (Kochia scoparia) is a salinity-resistant plant that can widely be used as emergency forage for livestock by using saline waters and soils in desert ecosystems. In order to investigate physiological mechanism, antioxidants activity and potential production of Kochia in response to different levels of salinity, an experiment was performed in a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Saline waters (5.2
