Abstract: Combined treatments are a successful way to overcome salinity damage in an environmentally safe and cost-effective method. So this experiment aimed to study the individual and combined effects of a seaweed extract of Cystoseira compressa (SWE) and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (VA-M) on the growth and yield of Triticum aestivum L. cultivar (ACSAD 1398), under salinity conditions. In general, the study showed a significant decrease in morphological and biochemical parameters of the wheat under salinity levels. On the contrary, the results showed that all treatments significantly increased shoot and root length, number of leaves /plant, leaf area, seedling length, fresh and dry weight seedlings, spike length, fresh and dry weight spike, chlorophyll (a b), carotenoids, total pigments, Ca, Mg, P, K, Cu, N, crude protein, and total soluble sugars. As caused a decrease in proline content. The findings revealed that the (SWE+VA-M) combined treatment was superior to the foliar individual application of (SWE), and (VA-M) individual inoculation.
