Aqueous leaf extract of common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) was evaluated alone or in combination with NaCI salinity tbr its influence on germination, seedling growth and contents of Na, K, and Ca by shoots and roots of wheat. The leaf extract and NaC1 alone or in combination did not have any significant effect on germination, but the shoot and root lengths of seedlings and their dry weight decreased significantly by the treatments. Root growth was affected more than the shoot. The combination of leaf extract and NaCI drastically reduced the growth more than the separate effects of these stress treatments.The incorporation of leaf extract in the growth media decreased the content of Na by shoot, whereas the contents of K and Ca increased. NaCI treatments in combination with leaf extract increased the content of Na. Similar increases were observed for K and Ca in shoot, while these nutrients were increased in roots compared to control.
