Effects of saline-alkali stress on seed germination and seedling growth of oat

Seven different treatments were set by mixed forest soil and serious saline-alkali soil and their extracted liquid in this study. Oat seed germination and the growth indexes of seedling were observed. The results showed that the germination of oat seed and growth index decreased with the increase of soil salinity. Also, different treatments of salinity stress had different effect on the oat germination, while the effect of extracted liquid treatment was stronger than that of soil treatment
