Abstract

The experiment was conducted during the academic year (2023-2024) in the Al-Ghammas area, affiliated with Al-Shamiya District / Diwaniyah Governorate, with the aim of studying the effect of salinity of irrigation water and spraying Spirulina plantensis algae extract on some phenotypic and physiological growth characteristics of the anise plant Pimpinella anisum. Which were measured in the laboratories of the Department of biology/ College of Education for women – University of Kufa, and the experiment was implemented using a Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) in three replicates with the presence of two factors, which are the salt concentrations (0, 2 and 5) ds.m-1 and the algal extract concentrations (0, 5 and 10) ppm. The averages were compared according to Duncan’s multi-range test at the probability level of 0.05, and the results showed that the salinity of irrigation water led to a decrease in most of the studied growth characteristics of the plant except for the content of the amino acid proline in the leaves, which recorded an increase in rates as its levels increased. Also, spraying the algal extract, especially at a concentration of 10 ppm, led to improving the characteristics and reducing the negative effect of salinity.
