The experiment was designed according to a split-plot design. Five levels of NaCl (0, 8, 16, 24, 32 mS\/cm) were applied, and five concentrations of PBZ (0, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 ppm) were foliar sprayed. The results showed that the gradual increase in salt levels resulted a decrease in all the studied parameters. On the other side, the treatment with PBZ improved most of the studied parameters under all studied salt levels. The interaction treatments of PBZ (2000 ppm) and salinity (in all tested levels) showed superiority in average root length (27.54 cm), shoots fresh and dry weight (36.12 g, 14.32 g, respectively), roots fresh and dry weight (31.39 g, 9.89 g, respectively), relative water content (64.82 %), leaf content of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids\u00a0 (1.40, 0.74 and 0.52 mg\/g FW, respectively), proline accumulation (0.92 mg\/g), total soluble sugars (0.58 mg\/g), leaves concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (4.34, 0.28, 0.74%, respectively) compared with interaction treatments of\u00a0 PBZ (0 ppm) and salinity (16.05 cm for root length, 15.94, 5.69 g for shoots fresh and dry weight, 18.45, 5.51 g\u00a0 roots fresh and dry weight, 52.07% relative water content, 0.97, 0.48, 0.38 mg\/g FW chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids, 0.71 mg\/g proline, 0.41 mg\/g total soluble sugars and 2.84, 0.21, 0.59% NPK concentrations, respectively).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Rootstock, Seedlings, <em>Citrus Jambhiri<\/em> Lush., Salinity, Paclobutrazol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Full paper in English: <\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n3p5.pdf\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">PDF<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anas Kiwan * (1(, Roula Bayerli (2) and Ali Elkhateeb (3) (1).
