Germination of plants is one of the most important stages during their growth which is often
influenced by environmental stresses, especially drought and salinity. This study was
conducted to investigate the effects of salinity and drought on seed germination and growth
of Lathyrus sativa. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with
factorial arrangement in 4 replications. Salinity treatments were 0, 2, and 4 dS/m and drought
treatments included 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 MPa. Salinity and drought treatments were prepared by
using sodium chloride and polyethylene glycol 6000, respectively. The results showed that
salinity and drought stresses decreased germination percentage, root and radicle length.
