Provide a 5 pages analysis while answering the following question: Trifolium Isthmocarpum Brot: Bio Saline Agriculture for Forage and Livestock Production. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The extensive field studies have recorded the species in many different habitats ranging from healthy agricultural lands to abandoned saline areas. The plants maintained high nodulation capacity (ranging between 70% and 97%) and nitrogenize activities (average 2.05 μmol C2H4 plant-1 h-1) in different habitats. Shoot systems of plants collected from salt-affected soils exhibited higher concentrations of Na+ and Cl- than those collected from healthy soils. Greenhouse experiments showed that the germination percentage and vigor value of the studied species was not significantly (P >. 0.05) affected at 160 mM NaCl and that 25% of the germination ability was maintained when growing on substrates containing 220 mM NaCl. The growth rate of seedlings was not significantly affected by 160 mM NaCl but was reduced by 38% under 220 mM NaCl. This study recommends the cultivation of T. isthmocarpum in salt-affected soils, which are widespread and pose a problem for the farmers of Tunisia and other countries in the world’s arid belt.
Tunisia is one of the countries which is seriously affected by salinity. 33% of its cultivated land is salinized (Cherkaoui et al., 2007). However, an understanding of the range of salinity that various legumes can tolerate is central to their use in programs for re-vegetation of saline lands (Behdani et al., 2008). The present study focused on salt tolerance of annual legumes, which can offer economic and environmental benefits. Moreover, they avoid salinity concentrations that reach the peak in summer and autumn in the Mediterranean environment. Trifolium is a leguminous genus, characterized by high seed yields, high nitrogen fixation rates, and important value in crop rotations. Generally, Trifolium species are recognized as being salt-sensitive. However, research undertaken on a limited number of species (Gibberd et al., 2001) suggests that species do vary in their response and that further research, may be beneficial in identifying species, that are suited to mild or moderate saline. Trifolium- isthmocarpum Brot (annual clover) is one of these clovers that have not been researched largely. . .
