Abstract

In order to determine salinity tolerance threshold and yield decreases per unit increase of soil salinity in selected Populus euphratica Oliv provenances, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factors of provenances in 13 types (1- Mofid hybrid (P. euphratica x P. alba), 2- Dezfoul, 3-Zabol, 4-Gotvand, 5-Lorestan, 6-Hamidiyeh, 7- Yazd 1, 8- Yazd 2, 9-Gharekhlar, 10-Kerman, 11-Garmsar, 12- Manjil, 13-Esfahn) and soil salinity at five levels (2.8, 5.96, 9.47, 13.2 and 16.47 dS.m-1). The study was performed with 3 replications during 2022-2024 at Hosein Abad Station, National Salinity Research Center, in 2023 and 2024. The results showed, the lowest salinity tolerance threshold was observed in Kerman (2.81 dS/m), Hamidiyeh (3.76 dS/m) provenances and Mofid hybrid (2.89 dS/m). On the contrary, the highest salinity tolerance threshold was observed in Garmsar (6.57 dS/m) and Dezful (6.05 dS/m) provenances, respectively. The highest yield reduction slope was observed in Mofid hybrid (8.19%), Manjil (7.42%), Garmsar (7.15%), Kerman (6.89%), and Hamidiyeh (6.80%), respectively. The lowest yield reduction slope was observed in Gotvand (4.53%), Esfahan (4.57%), Gharekhlar (4.88%), Zabol (5.16%) and Dezful (5.30%), respectively. Overall, the results showed that reduction in yield by 50% in Gotvand, Gharekhlar, Dezful, Zabol, Esfahan and Yazd 1, were observed at salinity levels of 15.55, 15.51, 15.32, 15.27, 14.99, and 14.05 dS/m, respectively. In general, Gotvand, Qarekhlar, Dezful, Zabol, Isfahan, and Yazd-1 provenances were classified as tolerant, whereas the Mofid Hybrid, Hamidiyeh, and Kerman provenances were classified as semi-tolerant to salinity. Therefore, considering the level of tolerance to salinity and other growth traits, the provenances of Dezful, Gotvand, and Zabol are recommended for wood production in saline conditions.
