Abstract

Understanding the interactions among soil properties, salinity and the inorganic substances application is great importance for improving growth of Coriander [Coriandrum sativum L.] in sandy soils. In the present study, twenty seeds of Coriander were sown during the growing season 2016 to investigate the effect of some inorganic substances [Bentonite, Nano-selenium and Micronutrients mixture] on Coriander growth and properties of sandy soil under salinity condition.   A split plot design replicated thrice-was used in this study. The results indicated significant succeed in enhancing all estimated soil properties, such as available nutrients in soil, EC, pH and bulk density. Besides, traits of coriander plant i.e., plant height, fresh, dry weights and plant chemical composition. Therefore, it could be recommended that adding of inorganic substances can improve the sandy soil properties and growth parameters of coriander plant.
