| Abstract | ||
| Different concentrates of sodium chloride(100, 200, 300,400 and 500 mM) were applied against the seeds of dodder(Cuscuta trifolii Bab), at the faculty of agriculture (Saba Basha), Alexandria University during the years of 2014 and 2015. Different morphological and biochemical characters were assessed. The effects of different concentrates of NaCl on seed germination and protein of Cuscuta trifolii Bab and Trifolium alexandrinum seeds cleared that Trifolium alexandrinum is more tolerant to salinity than Cuscuta trifolii Bab. So, NaCl can be used as a pre emergency agent to control the seeds of Cuscuta trifolii Bab to avoid the harmful herbicides that affect the environment and contaminate the foliage. At the Same time it will be more safe in animal feeding. | ||
