Abstract

The area of saline effected soils is increasing worldwide. Salinity significantly influences plant growth and yield. However, dry yeast (Saccharomyces cereivisiae) solution may play a role in alleviating salinity stress on faba bean (Vicia faba L) plants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the ability of dry yeast solution on reducing the negative effect of salinity on bean plants. In complete randomized design with four replicates in two factors, this study was conducted. Faba bean plants were grown under saline and non-saline conditions (0 and 120mM NaCl), treated with and without yeast solution (10g/L). The results indicated that salinity stress 120mM NaCl significantly (p<0.001) decreased most of studied growth and yield parameters such as plant height, number of branches,  number of leaves, leaf area, number of pods plant-1 number of seeds pod-1, weight of 10 seeds,  dry weight and seed yield.  On the other hand, the result shown that the application of 10g/L of yeast solution induced significant (p<0.05) promotive effects on most of growth and yield parameters in both saline and non-saline conditions. The study revealed that dry yeast solution treatment had the ability to persuade significant recovery for the reduction occurred in growth and yield traits of bean plants exposed to salinity. Overall, the study conclude that yeast can be beneficial to alleviate the injury caused by salinity stress; however, it may needed to combine it with other farming practices for optimal results.
