AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightResults showed that the selected cultivars (Digila and Furrat) were superior in all growth characters measured to those of the local cultivar (Tamooz 2) at both water treatments when grown in salinized soil (EC= 16 days/m).

Abstract
The morphological characters were used in this study to estimate the effect of magnetic water on plant growth of some selected cultivars of wheat under saline condition,and also to estimate the salt tolerance of these selected cultivars as compared with the local cultivar during the germination and seedling stages. Results showed that the selected cultivars (Digila and Furrat) were superior in all growth characters measured to those of the local cultivar (Tamooz 2) at both water treatments when grown in salinized soil (EC= 16 days/m). The selected cultivars exhibited more than twice and third shoot and root fresh and dry weights compared with that obtained from Tamooz 2 cultivar. Results also indicated that the highest value percentage of realizing response to the water treatments was in magnetized water in both cultivars, but the growth of selected cultivars was much higher than those of the local cultivar(Tammoz 2). It is important to bear in mind that the significant improvement in selected cultivars (Dijila and Furrat) was achieved in their salt tolerance, and also the significant improvement in growth of all cultivars used was achieved by using magnetic water. There is then a strong possibility that further increase in salt tolerance obtained by using magnetic water.
