N2  - Response of seed germination and seedling growth of ten Libyan date palm varieties to varying levels of water salinity were studied. Seeds of mature fruits were collected, cleaned, washed and planted in plastic pots fuil of soil/peat moss mixture at a five seedslpot rate. Chloride content of the growth media was determined at the start of the study. Saline water consisted of five treatments; 109 (controi), 1500, 3000, 4500 and 6000 ppm total solubie salts which were prepared by sea water dilutions. Treatments were replicated four times in a complete randomized block design (CRBD). Pots were irrigated using the same amount of the corresponding water twice a week
