Fac., El Fayoum Univ. to study the hazardous effects of the usage of different water salinity levels (i.e., 250, 600, 1200, 2400 and 4800 mg L⁻¹ ) as well as the specific effect of anions (i.e., c1⁻, CO₃²⁻/ and SO₄²⁻) on some soil and plant characteristics. The response of the studied soil and the plants grown thereon (elephant grass as a new summer green forage) characteristics to organic manure (organic compost of plant residues) was a matter of concern in this study UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/FJARD/2107/1/177.pdf ER -
