The experiment was carried out using the split-split plot design with three replications, the salinity factor (S) was included in the main plot, the Nano silica (N) was included in the secondary plot, and the sub-secondary plot were for cultivars (V). The results of sta-tistical analysis showed that some traits recorded a significant de-crease, such as flag leaf area, which decreased by 22.5%, root length, decreased by 16.83%, and the dry weight, by 19.2%, due to the influ-ence of salinity. The results indicated that although Nano silica had a positive effect on root length, which increased by 10.89%, but it had a negative effect on stomata width on the lower surface of leaves, which decreased by (8.75%). The Furat cultivar is superior to the other cultivars in terms of root length, dry weight, stomata width in the upper surface and stomata length in the lower surface.
