The experiment was carried out under plastic tunnel conditions in Ibb Governorate, Yemen, using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replicates. Results showed significant differences (p &lt; 0.05) among salinity levels in the studied traits (stem length, number of leaves, and leaf area). Irrigation with 2.99 dS\u2022m\u207b\u00b9 resulted in the highest increase in stem length (32.5%), whereas the control treatment (0.75 dS\u2022m\u207b\u00b9) recorded the highest mean values for number of leaves (9.8 leaves\/seedling) and leaf area (32.79 cm\u00b2). High salinity levels (\u2265 5.3 dS\u2022m\u207b\u00b9) significantly reduced all measured vegetative growth traits. Overall, the seedlings showed tolerance at low and moderate salinity levels, while higher concentrations negatively affected growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><strong> Salinity, Mango Seedlings, Vegetative Growth, Irrigation Water, cv.
