Effects of physical water treatment on reducing irrigation water salinity in Vicia faba L.
Abstract
Salinity is one of the components of the abiotic stress that has an adverse impact on the growth and yield of the plants. The current study reported in this paper was intended to measure the effect of using the magnetic and pottery-treated water with the growth and biochemical characteristics of Vicia faba L. under salty environment. Saline water with 7 dS m⁻¹ was used to irrigate plants which brought about significant reductions in growth parameters and increase in plant height, root length, number of leaves, and nodule formation relative to control and individual treatments of magnetic and pottery water. Interestingly, there was a considerable (p ≤ 0.05) enhancement in all the measured growth characteristics when magnetically treated water was applied together with pottery water in comparison with the salinity treatment alone, and control. Moreover, this mixture had a positive effect on the biochemical parameters increasing the content of total chlorophyll, the level of soluble proteins, and the activity of major antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase and superoxide dismutase. On the whole, the results of the study prove that the combination of magnetically treated water and pottery water is an effective intervention in preventing the negative impact of salinity and results in morphological and biochemical enhancement of V. faba. This would provide a viable solution of promoting the growth of plants and their tolerance against salty environment.
