The experiment was conducted in the winter agricultural season 2020 in the greenhouses of Al-Faris Company in Al-Zubair district The aim of the study is studying the effect of salinity of irrigation water on the mineral leaves content of twenty-one cultivars of Armenian Cucumber(Cucumis melo var. flexuosus), Where the experiment included 42 treatments, which resulted from two main factors, the first one is irrigation water, which are (1and 5 dS.m−1)and the second factor was included 21cultivars, of Armenian cucumber were selected, 16 of which are local and 5 imported. The study showed that the salinity of irrigation water caused a significant increase in the leaves content of potassium and sodium, with an increase of 33.71% and 324.43%, respectively, while irrigation with Naturalwater caused an increase in the percentage of the potassium element to the sodium with an increase reached 330.83%, While the cultivars differed in their content of mineral elements, where the Tikrit cultivar excelled with the highest content of phosphorous and potassium amounted to 0.2299% and 6.820%, respectively. While the Diyala cultivar gave the highest leaves content of sodium 5.548%) and the Karbala cultivar excelled and gave the highest percentage of potassium to sodium in the leaves of 5.681%), while the Italian cultivar recorded the lowest percentage of phosphorus in the leaves 0.0201, the Diwaniyah cultivar gave the lowest percentage of potassium in leaves, reaching 4.240%, and the cultivar Amarah gave the lowest percentage of sodium in the leaves, reaching 2.218%.Where the Mosul cultivar (Abu Akaf) gave the lowest average of potassium to sodium ratio in the leaves when it reached 1.209%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
