An experiment was carried out under the conditions of the green house at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Aleppo. The aim of research is determine the effect of the addition of humic acid to the irrigated soils by saline water in their organ
ic carbon content and the yield of the wheat crop. The experiment was designed in a split-spilt dissection method. The main sections comprising three levels of irrigation water salinity (W1:0, W2:3, W3:6 g-1 NaCl). Three levels of gypsum were mixed with soil: (G1:0, G2:25, G3:50 g). Three levels of humic acid were added with irrigation water (H3:48, H2:24, H1:0 kg/h). The coefficient Leaching with irrigation water for W3 and W2 was applied at %10 and %20 of the field capacity, respectively.
The results showed that the addition of humic acid contributed to the increase in the stock of organic carbon. The highest percentage of organic matter (2.70%) was found in the deep layer (W3G3H3), while the lowest ratio was (1.41%) in the surface layer of treatment (W3G2H1). The role of humic acid, especially at the level of H3, was clearly demonstrated in increasing the productivity and weight of the 1000 grains for the wheat crop. The study confirmed the role of the leaching factor in the organic carbon losses of the soil, where organic carbon was losses (%26.31) with leaching factor 10%, where the losses (%44.74) with leaching factor was 20%.
This study includes the evaluation of the problem of seawater intrusion in Al-Bassa area in
2014 through chemical monitoring of a group of sampling wells, under certain condition
that were subjected to the area during the research, representing by
rainfall precipitation in
the study area was only 500 mm/ year, as a result in the suspension of irrigation from 16
October lake and reuse of many abandoned pumping wells.
This study founds an increasing in the salinity values in the Al- Bassa coastal area of
summer in 2014, ranging between(665.6-6432mg/l)after increasing daily pumping rates, in
addition to the increasing of chloride and sodium concentrations in most of sampling wells
water in conjunction with high salinity levels. In the fall, the salinity values ranged
between 490-950 mg / l. The geochemistry of Na/Cl indicates values less than 0.84 in
most water samples during the summer, while in autumn this percentage was higher than
0.84 in most samples ,to be an indicator for marine water.
Experiments were conducted to study effect of radiation and salt levels on plant
regeneration from callus for two cultivars of potato i.e. Riviera and Burren, under
in vitro condition. Results showed that the efficiency of radiation in induced
reg
eneration from callus in Riviera cultivar at salt level of (10 dS m-1) and Burren
cultivar at salt levels (8, 12 dS m-1). For the purpose of making sure inheritance
of salinity tolerant, mutant clones (plants induced from salt tolerant calli, which
planted at salt levels of 8, 10, 12 dS m-1 and plants induced from non salt tolerant
calli, which planted at salt level of 6 dS m-1) and their parental cultivars (Riviera
and Burren) by exposing to salt stress conditions and comparing them with control
(6 dS m-1). Results revealed that the lowest percentage of reduction in plant height,
number of nods per plant and tuberization were observed in salt tolerant mutants.
Plant height and number of nodes/plant can be considered as selective morphological
markers for in vitro salt tolerance .
According to the importance of economic solar ponds in domestic and industrial
daily practical applications and its international widespread, this created the basis of an
experimental study on a prismatic solar pond. It is internally painted in bla
ck with a surface
measurement of (1m2) and a lower measurement of (0.42m2) and 1m deep. It constitutes
four levels of gradual salinity separated by transparent glassy tablets /home glass/ of
(6mm) thickness. On its lower level, a black solid mass is placed (black volcanic stones of
equal dimensions; almost around 1cm). Upon studying the temperature and the stored
thermal amounts of via subsidiary time every day from 9 am until 5 pm, the average rate of
stored thermal amount each hour calculated according to the following equation:
(Q = m.Cp.ΔT) during six months (February until July 2016) was:
9962.445 KJ, 9516.28 KJ, 10783.471 KJ, 9765.836 KJ, 14010.393 KJ, 12164.320 KJ
respectively.
This research was carried out during 2014 - 2015. The research aimd to describe
some chemical characteristics of the river's water used for irrigation, chemically compare it
with the Syrian Standards Specifications in terms of salt quantity and qua
lity and Cd and B
concentrations, water samples were taken from four observation points along the river:
A (domestic), B (industrial), C (mixed) and D (estuary), also Soil samples from the river
edges were also analyzed. The findings revealed that the EC value in B was 0.61 mg/l i.e.
less than those of others, with significant difference 0.72, 0.74, 0.73 mg/l, respectively.
The study also showed a significant increase in B and C concentration by 0.48 and 0.49
mg/l, respectively, compared with A and D by 0.4 mg/l each. A significant increase in Cd
concentration was noticed for B, C and D by 0.73, 0.88 and 0.75 mg/l vs. A 0.67 mg/l.
However, Cd concentration in the river water in all seasons and sites was excessive and
higher than the permissible limit for water discharge into seas estimated at 0.05 mg/l,
whereas the other parameters were lower than the permissible limits according to the
Syrian Standards. The effect of water pollution on soil showed a significant increase in EC
for B by 1.01 dS/m than others. The increase was also more significant in subsurface layer
than surface one by 0.45 and 0.62 dS/m, respectively. In addition, the findings
demonstrated a significant increase in Cd for C (2.67 mg/kg) than other points. The
increase in Cd concentration was more significant in the surface layer (2.648 mg/kg) than
the subsurface one (2.631 mg/kg), and this concentration was lower than the normal range
of soil content from Cd (3 ppm).

This study aim at investigating the tolerance of two tomato rootstock (Sprit and ES-
30502) widely speared in Syria and used for crafting some tomato hybrids grown in green
houses for different salinity levels (0- 25- 50- 75- 100- 150 mM NaCl).
Th
e results show that the germination of rootstock Sprit seeds was not influenced by
high salinity 150 mM despite a delay of 1-2 days compared with the control. A reduction
of 15% was observed in the rootstock ES-30502 at 100 and 150 mM NaCl salinity levels,
in addition to slower percentage rate of germination. In contrast, the effect of salinity on
the development of the radical and rootlet was more pronounced in Sprit compared to ES-
30502. Salinity decreased the growth of both shoots and roots, and also decreased nutrient
acquisition in both rootstocks, but to a lesser degree in ES-30502. The uptake of K was not
greatly affected and concentrations in shoot remained normal. The concentrations of Ca
and Mg were also not affected by salinity. The most pronounced effect of salinity was on
nitrogen effect (NO3) which was reduced greatly in both rootstocks. This was accompanied
by accumulation of free NO3 ions in the shoot tissue (58 and 45 % of total N uptake at
salinity level of 150 mM). It is most likely that toxicity of Na and Cl ions, and consequent
osmotic changes in cell tissue led to slower nitrate reductase activity (NRA) and
accumulation of NO3.
The objective of this study is to compare the effect of five different Nacl
concentration (0,50,100,150,200 mM) on seeds germination and seedling growth of two
cultivars of soybean (sb-44,sb-172).

filter paper moistened with 10 ml
of test solution at 25 c˚ in dark .
The obtained results showed that germination percentage , length of root and
hypocotyl were decreased with the increase of the Nacl concentration in the medium. The
best values was from cultivar sb-44 .

control and treated seeds .
Germinated seeds were subcultured on basal Murashige and Skoog medium solid at
the same Nacl concentration . The roots growth was mor affected by 200 mM Nacl
compared to seedling growth .
Plantlets were transfered into pots with nutrient soil , irrigated with saline water and
were adapted at laboratory . we obtained good plants grew to maturity in 10- 12 weeks .

This study aims to determine the concentrations of some heavy metals that are present in the crude oil and in liquid waste of the crude oil desalting unit .The extraction method (liquid-solid) is used for concentrating and extraction these compounds
from the
saltwater samples .Samples were collected from the unit’s discharging points and from the subsequent treatment stages .A suitable analytical method was used to extract these metals
from both of crude oil and the oil refineries᾿ liquid wastes.
