Abstract

Background and Objectives: Soil salinization and sodicity are most important factors in land degradation, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Application of the soil amendments, such as organic matter, can be a suitable method for improving the fertility of saline-sodic soils. Materials and Methods: In this study, a saline-sodic soil was chosen from Alborz, and then it was mixed with three levels of 1%, 3% and 5% (weight) of Cow manure, Vermicompost and Azolla, and incubated for 5 months at the moisture of field capacity and temperature of 20 ° C. Then, safflower seeds were planted and treatments were placed in a greenhouse for two months. During this period, soil moisture was maintained at the field capacity, through weekly weighing and irrigation with distilled water. After this period, plant indices including: height of shoots and fresh and dry weight of shoots were accurately measured. Results: The addition of modifiers was observed to change the growth of Safflower plant compared to the control. The lowest stem height was related to 5% cow manure treatment and the highest safflower height was related to 5% vermicompost fertilizer. The 3 and 5% vermicompost and 1% Azolla fertilizer had the highest fresh weight of shoot compared to others. Conclusion: Vermicompost fertilizer at 5% level and then Azolla fertilizer at 3% level could provide the most suitable substrate for safflower growth in saline-sodic soil. Therefore, according to the results obtained in this experiment, under similar conditions, the use of cow manure in saline-sodic soils is not recommended.
