Research Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at El-Maghara Experimental Station for Desert Research Center, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt during the three successive seasons of 2011 to 2013. The study was set up to evaluate some grapevine rootstocks as well as some grapevines varieties to salinity and drought tolerance. The rootstocks 1103 Paulsen, 110 Richter, Salt Creek, Black Balady and White Kahlili. They irrigated with effluent containing relatively high concentration (1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm) of salts water at different fractions of evapotranspiration (0.50, 0.75 and 1,00 ET). The obtained results indicated that plant hight and leaf area as well as shoot and root dry weight and potassium content of rootstocks significantly decreased linearly with increasing the salinity or drought levels. The decrement due to salinity effects higher than that due to drought ones. Contrary, proline, chloride and sodium contents took unsimilar trend. As to different studied rootstocks, Black Balady recorded the highest significant plant hight and leaf area, as well as shoot and root dry weight and contents of potassium and proline, and lowest significant chloride and sodium contents. It could be arranged the studied rootstocks for these traits as descending order, Black Balady, White Khalili, Salt Creek, 110R and 1103 P, respectively. Moreover, Black Balady had the highest or lowest values of the previous traits under the low level of salinity and drought. Contrary, 1103P and 110R had the lowest and highest values under the high level of salinity and drought. This study cleared a benefit used Black Balady or White Khalili as rootstocks in alleviating the adverse effect of salinity and drought on grape vineyards.
