This work was postulated to study the effect of salinity on growth and yield of canola, as well as the oil content of seeds as quality and quantity. Potted soils were artificially salinized by sodium chloride solution and then drying the soil aerobically. Control treatment potted with untreated soil (0.2%). Seeds were obtained from "Ministry of Agriculture, Oil Crop Research Center"Giza, Egypt. Twenty seeds were planted in every pot. Results indicated that decreasing in vegetative growth with increasing the salinity when comparing with control treatments. However, observed data in the study, showed the maximum means of seeds yield all over the tested yield parameters observed with control treatments and decreased with increasing salinity. Same trend occurred in oil content and edible quality, which were decreased when salinity increased. Thus, it could be concluded that salinity had a detrimental effect on improving growth of canola plants, decreasing growth and suppressing seeds yield and edible oil production UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2015/MUJPP/615/4/493.pdf ER -
