Abstract
The effects of salinity and supplemental silicon on germination and some seedling traits of canola, cv. Talayeh was investigated in a complete randomized block design. The first factor was 5 levels of potassium silicate (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 g/l) and different levels of salinity as second factor (including 0, 60, 180, 120, and 250 mM NaCl).
