What is it about?
Pots experiment was carried out at Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University, Egypt during two successive summer seasons of 2014 and 2015 to study the responsive of Sweet pepper (cv. California wonder) plants irrigated by diluted sea water (EC= 8.0 dSm-1) to foliar applications of 1 mM alpha-Tocopherol (α TOC).

Why is it important?
Pepper plants irrigated by sea water recognized significant reductions in growth parameters (leave number, leaf area, plant dry weight, Fruit number and Fruit yield). Results also showed that, foliar application of pepper plant with αTOC caused a notable upgrading in growth and yield under saline conditions.
Perspectives
The outcome of present experiment could be recommended for both new reclaimed lands suffering from salt water and regions exposure to salinity hazard in irrigated water.
